AYURVEDA & HEALTH PACKAGE

Ayurveda is the knowledge that indicates the appropriate and inappropriate, happy or sorrowful conditions of living, what is auspicious or inauspicious for longevity, as well as the measure of life itself. 

Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge, so Ayurveda means the knowledge about science of life.

During the 500-600 B.C., Agasthya, Charaka, Sushrutha, Kashyapa, etc. the very knowledgeable philosophers churned from the vedas the references to all illness, diseases, drug-medicines and compiled the samhitas. 

It is from this samhitas that the physicians later absorbed the knowledge of Ayurveda and applied them for Preventing as well as curing illness. Ayurveda is not only the ancient Indian science of preventative health and healing but also a philosophy of living.

Philosophy
Ayurveda removes the cause of disease and re-establishes balance to our system. According to Ayurveda, we are composed of three bodies physical, astral, causal ie. body, mind and soul. 

The earth existed billions of years before our arrival, which is mere three and a half million years ago. As our planet ages and we grow in universal wisdom & come to know the beauty of cosmic magnetism among all life forms.

Anuvaasana (Enema with oil)
Nasyam (Inhalation of Drugs)

Prior to panchakarma, purvakarma is administered. “Snehanam” and “Swedanam” which are basically the purvakarma or meaning primary aspect of Panchakarma.

Snehanam in either words meaning “Oleation” and “Swedanam” meaning sweating and much of this method of Panchakarma Therapy is in pre-paring the toxins for elimination, through oil and sweating therapies. The oil application and sweating therapy helps in bringing the toxin into the digestive tract for elimination.
