Personalized Ayurvedic Wellness Approach
Your retreat starts with a visit to an Ayurvedic doctor . The doctor will talk to you to figure out what is best for you. In Ayurveda, they consider what kind of person you are, how you live, what you eat, and what you do every day. The doctor will take all these factors into account, then decide what treatments you should have and what your daily schedule should be. This way, everything is tailored to your needs.
You will receive therapies depending on the program you choose and what the doctor advises . These therapies can include things like Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Udwarthanam, Kizhi, Njavarakizhi, Pizhichil , and reflexology. You might also experience traditional Ayurvedic treatments.
Remember , these therapies are part of a program to help you feel better, not to treat problems. You will be supervised by professionals who know what they are doing.
