Ayurveda is a medical system applying a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. It works with personalized healthcare by evaluating both body and mind to diagnose and manage health issues.
Treatments are based on natural methods and ingredients such as detoxification, massage, herbal medicine, diet, yoga, and meditation. It relieves symptoms and cures disease, can be used on a long-term basis with no ill effect, and, helps to prevent illness by balancing a person’s physical, emotional and spiritual states.
We have developed a unique form of massage where the therapists use their feet to provide for optimal stimulation of a patient’s inner biochemistry, supporting effective healing. This technique is based on traditional wisdom deriving from Kalari and Kathakali.
Kalari is an ancient form of martial art, which originated in the south of India several thousands of years ago. And, Kathakali – with its origins from some 1,500 years ago in Kerala – is a classical performance art with dance dramas that were traditionally conducted at night until early morning.
Practitioners of both disciplines needed strong flexibility and strength for their practice. When injured they healed themselves with techniques stimulating so-called marma points (specific energy fields in a body and similar to acupuncture). This way they mobilized their bodies to self-heal.
