Ayurvedic science works with the three doshas (bio energies) Vata, Pitta and Kapha. As the planet earth has a global climate according to the elements the human body has its balancing system as well. Consisting of the five elements earth, fire, water, wind and ether, the three doshas control the condition of the body. Dosha means "that which can run out of balance". Imbalanced doshas are the reason for body and mind problems. Humans breath, drink and eat. That means they naturally produce waste. Ayurvedic treatment removes waste from the body and balances the doshas – this creates the basis for a self healing, powerful body.

The treatment starts with the basic:

7 days Kerala Traditional Foot Therapy

Vijay, our Ayurvedic physician, and his assistants massage the body fom the finger tips to the toes using their feet in a deeply the tissue affecting way. Feet work as sensitive as hands, but they can add deeper pressure. The head gets massaged by hands. Through the various massage techniques, different physical problems can be adressed. This foot massage is based on the Ayurvedic Marma and Nadi (energy point and path) System and treats it directly to regain the balance of the doshas. The Kerala Traditional Foot Therapy relieves many problems such as acute nerve pain, intense joint pain, various back problems, chronic muscle pain, different types of headache. Yoga students appreciate this treatment to help them into their postures.

It is the perfect preparation for the following treatments:

Njavarakizhi

The whole body is massaged by two people with warm medicated rice pillows. This is a great protein support for the body and helps the tissue to renew. It makes muscles and sinews flexible and it balances the doshas.

Pizhichil

This treatment is also known as an oilbath. Warm medicated oil is poured over the whole body to extract poison from the cells and to clean the blood. Individual body problems are treated with the hands.

Sirodhara

Warm medicated oil will be dripped over the forehead. That affects the brain and the three main Nadis (nerves), which merge on the forehead.

These are the four classical Ayurvedic treatments. Vijay recommends individual. He treats back/neck/shoulder/hip/joint problems, migraine, rheumatism, weight problems, digestive problems, piles, allergies, skin diseases, asthma, diabetes, piles and many others.

Oils

Vijay prepares all different medicated oils (head and body oils, oils for oilbath, oil for Sirodhara, oils for skin problems etc) according to old traditional family recipes in his own medicine house. They are cooked for days long on a wooden fire. Natural ingredients like minerals, plants, herbs, fruits, roots, barks of trees etc combined with Vijay's knowledge and experience make the oils into a powerful treatment tool.
