Ayurveda means 'Science of Life'
Ayurveda originated in India more than 5000 years ago. This ancient healing science addresses disease in 3 ways: curing or healing of disease, prevention of disease and promotion of longevity and decreasing effects of aging.
Ayurveda treats the individual by balancing body and mind. The entire self is taken into consideration when diet, mental and physical changes are recommended in order to bring balance. Ayurveda focuses on personal change and development.
We all tend to see our bodies as "frozen sculptures", solid fixed material objects, when in fact we are more like rivers, constantly changing, flowing patterns of intelligence. To change the printout of your body you must learn to rewrite the software of your mind
Ayurveda teaches that every person has been given a unique blueprint by nature; this is called your 'dosha'.

How is Ayurvedic Therapy Performed?
Oils are warmed and used according to your dosha to cover entire body. It is best if oil remains on skin for as long as possible after treatment. Please choose loose clothing (warm if winter) including hat to wear home. There is a possibility of getting oil on clothing. These treatments can be done with underwear on. You will be sitting and lying for treatments in a warm, comfortable environment.
Warm to hot drinks are recommended after treatment- avoid cold fluids for about 2 hours. Eat lightly for the rest of the day.
