Healing Traditions
There is a spiritual source in India which is at this time exerting a powerful influence on the Western world. In contrast to the Western System of Medicine, Traditional System of Healing in India, as in other ancient cultures, approach thickness as a dynamic event in the life of an individual. It is this result of this harmony between the sick person and his/her environment. Under this approach to understanding illness, "the disease" itself has no independent reality.
More and more people are moving away from modern medicines and turning towards traditional, also refereed to as "alternative", systems of medicine.

Nature has given us abundant resources to help us replenish our bodies and restore it to health. It is time for us to reclaim our trust in these healing processes of life.
Ayurveda
It literally means 'the science of living', Ayu meaning life and Veda meaning knowledge. It is a system of medicine that provides guidance regarding food and lifestyle so that people can maintain an optimum state of health.
Ayurveda aims at removing the cause of illness and not just curing the disease itself. Based solely on herbs and herbal compounds, Ayurvedic remedies do not operate against the body's metabolism. Their effect is registered gradually resulting in minimum side effects.

Treatment for ailments like arthritis, paralysis, obesity, sinusitis, migraine, premature ageing & general health are offered in many resorts & Ayurvedic centers.
Panchakarma
This five-fold purification therapy aims at correcting the imbalance of the body's Doshas or bio energies (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) in order to maintain their inherent equilibrium and Ama, which forms as a result. Panchakarma therapy has three main stages : Poorvakarma, Pradhanakarma and Paschatkarma. Poorvakarma, the first stage, comprises essential preliminary procedures for preparing the body to unload stored toxins. The treatment help to loosen Ama (toxins) and move it out to the deep structures into the GI tract, where Panchakarma's cleaning therapies can then eliminate it. Pradhanakarma is the second stage and includes the main cleansing therapies. Paschatkarma is the final stage and describes the measures employed after the main treatment, such as diet, medicines and daily routine.
