Ayurveda or Ayurvedic Treatment is a system of healing from India, which evolved from the Brahmin sages. It focuses on establishing and maintaining balance of the life energies within us, rather than on individual symptoms. It recommends different regimens for different types of people. And it seeks to heal the fragmentation and disorder of the mind-body complex and restore wholeness and harmony.

The practice involves balancing the three life energy forces: vata, pitta, and kapha. Vata is the energy of movement; pitta, the energy of digestion; and kapha is the energy of structure. These energy forms are made up of the componenets and combinations of the five great elements: Space, Fire, Water, Air and Earth.

Ayurvedic massage incorporates the knowledge of ayurveda and uses warm oils and herbs along the specific energy points to help restore balance to the body. Massage strokes, oils and herbs are selected based on a client's specific needs; hence, each treatment is highly customized. Benefits of ayurvedic massage include vitality, stress reduction, and relaxation, renewed sense of spiritual connection and inner peace.

This comprehensive program shows you how to evaluate each client according to the ancient Ayurvedic principles of the doshas. Then you will learn how to combine and apply the ingredients for 21 traditional Ayurvedic treatments including: 7 Oil treatments, 5 Ubtan(paste) treatments, 2 Facial treatments, 1 Ear treatment, 4 Eye treatments, 1 Dry powder treatment and 1 Saffron milk treatment.
