According to Ayurveda, the body is made up of Tridoshas (Tri’ means ‘Three’ and ‘Doshas’ mean ‘Humours’) – Vata is Air, Pitta is Fire and Kapha is Water. Good health means a normalcy in the Tridoshas, balance of metabolic, systemic and excretory functions, all five senses and in the mind and spirit.We offer Ayurvedic Spa therapies that holistically rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit. You would have a unique experience of the most potent healing effect.An integral part of Ayurveda is the massage. We have a range of traditional Ayurveda oils that use herbs and plant extracts and are used in massages and various other wellness therapies in our Spa. Ayurveda massage treatments bring about a balance between the body and the mind, by increasing circulation that bring more nutrition to the cells and by dislodging the body’s metabolic wastes and toxins. A good massage also lubricates the joints, tones the muscles and calms the nervous system.
