Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the traditional healing system of India and is considered the world's oldest complete health system that is still in use. Today, thanks to the development of a more comprehensive view of medicine, philosophy, and spirituality, its popularity has soared in the West.
Ayurveda opens consciousness and teaches that you are not only your body; this is a vehicle for the expansion of consciousness. It helps you to connect with your true nature and to see that the only real cure for diseases is the understanding of the self. It is a lifestyle, a way to learn how to cooperate with nature and to live in harmony with it.
Panchakarma
It is the set of five practices that allow you to eliminate excess doshas. Not all of these practices are carried out, each case requires different procedures. Remember that it is not a strictly vacation retreat, but rather a holistic and comprehensive healthy program.
