 THE AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS

The Ayurveda method of healing and wellbeing is one of the world's oldest holistic systems, dating back more than 5,000 years ago in India. It works on the basis that every person is made of five basic elements found in the universe: space, air, fire, water, and earth.

If your mind, body, and spirit are in harmony with the universal energy, you will have good health. When something disrupts this balance such as injury, emotions, age, seasonal change or even lifestyle, you will become unwell. The five elements combine in the human body to make three life forces “doshas”. We all have a unique combination of the doshas but one dosha is usually more prominent and this throws off our balance. Ayurveda uses the knowledge of our doshas to bring harmony and welllness back to us, by restoring our dosha balance during treatments, therapies and lifestyle changes.

Vata dosha (space and air)

Pitta dosha (fire and water)

Kapha dosha (water and earth)

AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE

Aromatherapy massage is a massage therapy using base oils or  lotions  that contain  essential oils (highly concentrated plant based oils).  During aromatherapy massage you inhale these essential oil molecules & absorb them through your skin. Oils promote beneficial changes in your mind & body by affecting the limbic system, a region in the brain that influences our nervous system. During aromatherapy massage, the skin is warmed and the blood is drawn to the surface, increasing circulation and encouraging the elimination of toxins from the body, which has the consequence of speeding up recovery time from any illness or injury. The manipulation of the muscles continues the process, whilst at the same time releasing tense knotted muscles by dispersing the buildup of lactic acid which often occurs after exercise. As the circulation increases, the oils are absorbed through the skin and carried round the body, allowing their healing effects to permeate to all the major body organs.usually the massage will be slow and gentle and living one with in a deep relaxation state.it is much recommended to anxiety or stress issues.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep tissue massage is aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as it works to release chronic muscle tension or "knots" as well on trigger points. Highly beneficial for chronic back pain / slipped disks / sciatica problems, lowers high blood pressure and reduces stress, muscle tension and anxiety.
