Ayurvedic treatments

Ayurveda allows the use of only natural materials. The oils, infusions, herbs and traditional soap in the form of a fat-absorbing powder used for the treatments are prepared from plants grown using traditional methods on designated plantations. Veda means knowledge, Ayur means life. According to Ayurveda, life is not rigid divisions, but is a harmoniously flowing stream.

This treatment focuses on the “third eye” chakra, and is gentle massage of the forehead using a stream of warm sesame oil. It is named a treatment of youth and longevity and is one of the most important Ayurvedic applications. It is deeply relaxing and exerts a profound influence on the nervous and hormonal systems, as well as reduces stress and nervous tensions. Moreover, it can treat many ailments such as chronic pains of head and sinuses, insomnia, anxiety and impairments of hearing and sight. It also improves blood circulation to the brain, which on the one hand has a positive effect on intellectual efficiency, and on the other hand wards off hair loss and greying, due to the nourishing effects on the skin and hair of the head. Shirodhara massage is recommended in package together with Abhyanga massage.

In literal translation, Abhyanga means “anointment”. This impressive and extremely pleasurable massage technique, deriving from Asiatic countries, introduces us to a unique climate of the Orient. A subtle rubbing of warm and fragrant oil into the skin helps to suppress weariness, insomnia and anxiety. Oil massages are known from their positive effects on the immunological system. They are based on the principle that the more stress (physical or psychical) our organism experiences, the more oil should be used for the massage. The effectiveness of Abhyanga massage depends mostly on the quality and properties of the oil used. Ayurvedic oils strengthen the nervous and immunological systems, and regenerate the tissue from within and on the outside. The best Ayurvedic oils are herbal oils basing on black sesame.

Powder massage is a slimming and anti-cellulite treatment, using a special selection of herbs, powders and pastes mixed together with Ayurvedic oil.

Moreover, herbs have a stimulating effect on collagen metabolism in skin, detoxify the organism and clearing intestines. They are also used for balancing the function of the kidneys and the urinary system.
