Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the oldest system of medicine in the world and was first recorded in India more than 5000 years ago. It revolves around the theory of the five elements and the doshas. Our material body is made up of the five elements (earth, fire, water, air and ether) and so is the material environment outside our body. We are constantly influenced by changes going on and our body is constantly trying to adjust. If we can keep in good health with our body’s intelligence functioning optimally, then we can carry out these adjustments with ease and we stay balanced. If not then dis-ease results.
Offerings
Ayurvedic Consultations
An Ayurvedic consultation incorporates traditional Ayurvedic diagnostic techniques such as pulse diagnosis (for local clients), tongue diagnosis and iridology. We cover a comprehensive enquiry into your current health situation to understand the current state of the bodily channels and tissues.
I will also determine your current diet and lifestyle patterns and past health history. During a consult we sit together for around 1 to 1.5 hours to gather the information and to determine your individual constitution so that a specialised healing program can be formulated. This program will include recommendations for diet and nutrition, lifestyle changes, therapeutic treatments and herbal formulations to assist in the healing process.
Therapeutic Treatments
All the therapeutic treatments are authentic to Ayurveda and given in a nurturing and professional environment. The therapies are unique in that they use Ayurvedic herbs and traditional medicated oils, each infused with up to 50 different Ayurvedic herbs.
The medicinal oils and herbs used, nourish the body’s tissues, assist with detox and provide profound healing benefits. Although you will feel benefits after one treatment, it is usually recommended to come for at least 3 treatments in a row, either weekly, fortnightly or monthly in order to see results. The frequency with which you come for your therapies will depend on your individual health situation.
