Top Ayurvedic Escapes
Our MD Stella Photi first discovered Ayurveda over twenty years ago and became fascinated by how this ancient scientific system of health could be so effective. On a recent trip to India, her passion for it was rekindled, as she furthered her understanding of its sophistication. During a stay at the wonderful Ananda in the Himalayas, the Ayurvedic doctor’s diagnosis was almost identical to her recent Western medical tests. Stella fully respects modern medicine, but she also believes it's shortsighted to dismiss holistic health systems like Ayurveda. Rather than competing, Ayurveda can complement conventional medicine, often excelling in managing chronic conditions. Even if you're in good health, Ayurveda is a powerful tool for optimizing your wellbeing and reaching your peak vitality.
