Ayurveda and Yoga

Consultations

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of healthcare that addresses any health issue or imbalance in body and mind. Pulse reading and tongue diagnosis are among the tools used to find the root causes of ill health. Bring recent test results and current medications with you and avoid eating for 3 hours before your initial appointment.

Treatments include:

• Herbal medicines – made up individually for each patient from pure organic herbs.
• Dietary and lifestyle changes – support herbal treatment, restore balance to the system.
• Yoga breathing, relaxation/meditation techniques – may be used to manage stress.

Marma therapy

This deeply relaxing treatment uses gentle pressure and massage with ayurvedic oils on specific marma points to stimulate healing. This is the ancient Indian version of acupuncture which is done without needles. Loose, comfortable clothing can be worn during the treatment.

Marma therapy can be used to create balance and rejuvenation or can focus on a specific health issue. A treatment for overall relaxation and well-being includes a full facial massage as well as specific areas of the head, neck and shoulders and key points on the body.
