Ayurveda is probably the oldest existing knowledge system on the healing process. It is based on an understanding of the complex interaction between man and nature. Hence Ayurveda’s definition of health is not merely at the physical level but also at the mental, emotional, social, spiritual and environmental level.

Ayurveda treatment is based on the sustainable use of nature’s offerings such as plant, mineral and animal products as well as various treatment modalities including diet and lifestyle modification, body treatments and internal medications. It is this all encompassing holistic approach that makes Ayurveda one of the fastest growing CAM (complementary and alternative) systems worldwide. Since Ayurveda places equal emphasis on both promotive and curative wellness, it is also becoming a treatment of choice in many spas globally.

One important aspect of Ayurveda is its external body treatments. A unique understanding of the human body has enabled Ayurveda to create and develop over 20 unique treatments including oil treatments, wraps and scrubs. Each of these treatments can be done by preparing unique combinations of over 200 different herbs.  Although research is being carried out in different parts of the world to understand the rationale and logic behind these different treatments, modern science is still unable to explain the undoubted efficacy with which these treatments contribute to wellness.
