Ayurvedic Spas
Spa treatments are often seen as a stress-buster and a rejuvenating experience. But there is more to it than just that. Several Spas have adopted ancient Ayurvedic concepts as a part of their Spa regime which not only rejuvenates the body and also treats bodily ailments effectively. They adopt therapeutic methodology that encompasses non-invasive herbal infusion and Abhyangam (massage) therapies. Ayurvedic Spas have become internationally acclaimed forms of healing owing to the positive outcomes of its techniques.
Although the relatedness of modern diseases and stress has been established beyond doubt, medical science has failed to address these effectively. But surprisingly, the ancient masters of Ayurveda had understood the body-mind connection well and used techniques which treated both. Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the affected body part, but in the holistic treatment of the entire body. The stress is on the prevention of bodily ailments and not just in treating them. The basic ingredients for treatment come from nature and are thus devoid of all distressing side effects that normally accompany chemical medicines. The massages and treatments involved in Ayurvedic Spa are known to enhance beauty and keep stress at bay.
There are several therapeutic procedures used in treating one or more parts of the body. The Abhyangam for instance is massage done on the entire body by using herbal oil which is gently massaged on the body by the masseur. This treatment is effective in improving eyesight, longevity, rheumatism, vitality, giving you glowing skin and enhances sleep, thus giving holistic relaxation to the body. Dhara is another similar treatment in which the person is made to lie down on the wooden treatment bed and is then given a liberal application of medicated oil. The masseur then swings medicated oil back and forth on the forehead with the help of a special apparatus which is placed on the head. This treatment can also be done for a specific part or the whole body, depending on the ailment. It promotes rejuvenation and revitalization of the human mind and body, diminishing the effect of ageing. It is a special massage therapy for stress & strain. Other such popular therapeutic treatments include Elakizhi, Pizhichil, Navarakizhi, Sirovasti and Thalapothichil.
