Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a holistic health system that originated in India over 5000 years ago.

Ayurveda means "science of life" ("Ayu" meaning life and "Veda" meaning science). It was first recorded in the Vedas: the world's oldest surviving literature.

Ayurvedic treatments have been used to help alleviate various conditions; aiming to treat the root cause of disease rather than the symptoms. 

Ayurvedic Massage is a great treatment to have on a regular basis to maintain good health and general well being. It is also one of the most profoundly relaxing massage treatments on offer.

A specific consultation is carried out to determine your body and personality type, or 'dosha'.  The aim is to bring your dosha as nearly as possible into balance through specialist massage techniques using herb-infused oils (called tailas).
