Experiences

Ayurveda

In first stage, as in any Ayurveda treatments detoxification of the body is done using various techniques and this process may be little uncomfortable. It is better to come with an open mind to overcome your concerns in consultation with the doctors rather than resisting. Initially you are given ample medicated ghee so that it saturates your system and absorbs all the toxins. During this process you will also be given enough herbal water and light diet. Once the system saturates, the ghee is purged out using medication and now your system is better prepared to accept the various treatments and medicines.

After detoxification you will be given various types of massages & treatments using medicated powders, pouches with herbal leaves and different type of medicated oils. All this is supplemented with internal medications as required. Again, these vary from person to person and individual’s treatment schedule is decided by the Ayurveda doctor.

At Kalari Rasyana, apart from the Ayurveda treatment which includes special diet along with oils, massages and herbs, the focus is also on Yoga and meditation. The Yoga is taught and practiced every morning. After you have undergone detoxification and purgation, typically you will have two massages / treatments every day and on an average each massage / treatment takes up to 1 ½ to 2 hrs. The outcome of all this being a healthier, younger, lighter, calmer, clearer & more focused YOU!
