Ayurveda Retreats
Put simply, an Ayurveda holiday seeks to help you in good health by balancing your individual constitution, or ‘dosha’. It is completely natural and is designed to work with your body. If you try and follow the principles that work for your dosha, you will notice a positive change. For example, if you are hyper and chaotic, it will calm you down and help you focus. Ayurveda achieves these results through diet, treatments and lifestyle changes that are tailored specifically for your dosha. It is very good for providing a total detox through Panchakarma therapy, stress relief through massage and shirodhra treatments, and there are many therapies designed to alleviate specific aliments like muscle aches, back pain, or arthritis. On a more medical note, Ayurveda has helped alleviate the symptoms of ME, arthritis, asthma, and psoriasis, to name a few. Ayurvedic spas and resorts run from utter luxury to the utmost simplicity, but all our Ayurvedic retreats have been chosen for their high standard care and professionalism they offer to those seeking a more harmonious way of life.
