Ayurvedic

Ayurvedic treatments are treatments that involve the use of essential oils for massage purposes. Ayurvedic massage techniques include kneading, tapping, stroking and squeezing. The well-trained Ayurvedic therapists will focus on pressure points as those in acupressure, reflexology and acupuncture. These massage therapies are combined with certain exercises, stress-releasing meditation activities and strict diet.

The end results of a successful Ayurvedic treatment are:

• Strong immune system
• Smoother and younger skin
• Detoxification of the body
• Better emotional stability 

Before the treatment, avoid alcohol and heavy meals. Ayurvedic treatment plans are tailored for each individual and therefore, expect the therapist to ask you a lot of personal questions regarding your lifestyle and health.
