A History of Healing
Ayurveda is the sister science of yoga. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word meaning knowledge or science (veda) of life or longevity (ayur). It is the medical aspect of Vedic Science, over 5,000 years old it is the world’s oldest recorded healing system. Ayurveda balances the body by introducing lifestyle regimens to prevent dis-ease and detoxification techniques, such as Panchakarma to rid the body of toxins and tension so the innate lifeforce that made the body can effectively heal the body. Ayurveda works to restore the individual’s natural metabolic state so one can focus on higher purposes such as their spiritual/creative life/Yoga. Just like traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda recognizes elements of nature within the physical body. Called doshas in Sanskrit these biological humors are Vata (air/ether), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water). These constitutions are what created you and effectively sustain you when kept in balance. Health is then a direct reflection of right balanced humors in the body, and Ayurveda works to restore that balance.
Indian Bodywork arose as part of an Ayurvedic lifestyle. Children received massage everyday from birth until age three and then once or twice a week until age six when they began to also exchange this gift. This ancient treatment uses Marma Point Therapy and Medicated essential oil blends according to your doshas to release tension and restore balance to the body. I highly recommend receiving Swedhana (steam) either just before or just after this treatment.
Thai Bodywork was created by an Ayurvedic physician from India who traveled to Thailand to serve the Guatama Buddha many years ago. The monks and nuns at the Temple Wat Pho in Bangkok learned the trade and passed it on ever since. The technique uses no oils, is done in comfortable clothing on a mat placed on the floor. It involves classical Chinese Medicine, (Acupressure) to stimulate nerve meridians and yoga-like positions which optimally stretch and isolate major muscle groups.
Swedhana Full Body Steam Therapy with aromatherapy which opens the pores and relaxes you while sweating out unwanted toxins. This treatment is usually given just before or just after bodywork.
Shirodhara is a technique used to relax and center individuals by streaming warm oils onto your forehead for thirty minutes (at “third-eye”, Ajna/6th chakra).
