Philosophy of Ayurveda
Ayurveda (the science of life and longevity) is not only the ancient form of preventative healing but also a philosophy of living and staying in harmony with nature. Rarely treating symptoms, Ayurveda cures by removing the cause of disease. The belief of Ayurveda is that transgressions against Nature's law and against our own inner wisdom are causes of all diseases. Ayurveda removes the cause of disease by correcting these transgressions and re-establishing balance to our system .The diagnosis of the human body, three humors or Doshas - vata, pitta and kapha (air, fire and water), to achieve the right balance of the body is central to philosophy of Ayurveda. It is from these doshas that our individual constitution or Prakriti is formed.

Ayurvedic Massages

Special medicated oils made from vegetable oils and several medicinal herbs are used in Sukha Massage. This massage is excellent for physical relaxation. Muscles respond and relax, blood vessels dilate and the circulation rate of the blood increases substantially. Increased oxygen rich blood supply to your brain will open up the hidden powers in you.

RAKSHA MASSAGE is a holistic healing and rejuvenating massage combining Ayurveda, Kalari, Marma and Yoga. This is a three-dimensional medical approach of Physical, Mental and Spiritual aspects. This massage takes about 90 minutes and is carried out by two persons simultaneously. They use medicated oils in copious quantities and you will soon find yourself covered from head to toe. The oils' fascinating scent itself is rejuvenating. The massage is concluded by the application of warm oil using powdered medicinal herbs that is simply an unforgettable experience! Highly recommended.

KUTCHA MASSAGE is particularly intended for flexibility and endurance. For those who practice martial arts, sports, dance and games, this is the best form of Ayurvedic massage combined with Kalari techniques. In this massage, the Masseur massages your body with his feet, suspending himself from a rope fixed to the roof. The movement of the feet is effectively coordinated to apply the right amount of pressure where the body needs. This form of massage is very ancient and traditional in India.

Massages are followed by a steam bath, the oil on the body is wiped away and you can then relax on the balcony of the massage parlor, watching the beautiful Periyar river. Those will be the most exhilarating few minutes of your life!
