NIRVANA WELLBEING RETREAT
Ayurvedic Treatments
Ayurvedic treatments and consultations are available at Nirvana Wellbeing Retreat as extras to your stay. Ayurvedic principles help you to create harmony in the body, mind and spirit, thereby prolonging life and eliminating the causes of disease and dysfunction.The microcosm and macrocosm reflect each other
Every cause has an effect…and every effect has a cause
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Like increases like
A quality is decreased by its opposite quality
There is no pain in the body without vata,
no inflammation in the body without pitta
and no oedema in the body without kapha.
Balance and health for each individual is unique one size/treatment/medicine/regime etc does not fit all.
