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.

BOOK A TREATMENT
AYURVEDA IS WELLBEING - NATURALLY
Ayurvedic principles are based upon the unchanging laws of Nature. As we are part of nature, so the treatments that correct our weaknesses will be found in nature. We are all part of a greater whole. Everything in nature is reflected in each organism and is reflected in ourselves. For instance, according to Ayurveda every person contains a combination of the universe’s five building blocks, the basic elements of space, air, fire, water and earth, which in each individual functions as three biological and metabolic types, or doshas. Ayurveda uses the terms Vata (air/space), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (earth/water) to describe unique psycho-biological make-up which are the components of your body type. Illness arises by an imbalance in one or more of the doshas, which disturbs the tissues and wastes in the body, resulting in toxicity in the body and mind.
