- Nasya
- Vaman
- Virechana
- Vasthi and
- Raktha Moksha
These cleansing treatments help eliminate many toxic elements from the body. The Ayurvedic medical system emphasizes the holistic approach and the whole person-body, mind and soul is considered and not just the affected parts of the body.
Ayurveda is based on “Panchabhutha” and the “Tri Dosha” theories. This unique living system considers that a human being is a balanced composition of body, mind and soul. Lifestyles that are based on the true principles of Ayurveda can help resist diseases, arrest premature aging and retain youthfulness for a long time.
The Uniqueness of Ayurveda Treatments
Ayurvedic treatments are unique in their approach to health and disease. Instead of suppressing the main symptoms, the root cause is eliminated and thus gives permanent relief. The treatments are mainly carried out using a mixture of medicinal powders, tablets, herbs and medicated oils prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals, massages oils and other natural products.
