In Your Element Day Spa

Ayurvedic knowledge dates back 5 millennia and is one of the most ancient healing modalities known to humanity. Originating in India, Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word derived from the two words "Ayur” which means “Life” and “Veda”, meaning “Knowledge or Science”, making Ayurveda the “The Science of Life”.

Ayurvedic beliefs have their foundation in the idea that good health and wellness are dependent on the balance between mind, body, and spirit. The aim of Ayurvedic medicine is the promotion of good health, as opposed to fighting disease.

Ayurveda views each person uniquely, while acknowledging that we are all made up of five primary elements - Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The elements come together to create three life forces or energies, referred to as doshas. Doshas control how your body works.

Ayurveda's three doshas are:

Vata (Ether & Air) Pitta (Fire & Water) Kapha (Earth & Water)

The Ayurvedic practitioner will design their clients' treatment specifically addressing their individual health challenges. If any of the doshas are out of balance, health and homeostasis may be affected. If imbalance goes unrecognised, illness or disease could be the outcome.

The practitioner will suggest lifestyle and nutritional changes to help their client reduce the dosha that has an excess of energy. Herbal supplements may also be recommended to speed up healing. Massage, oil pouring, and herbal steam baths are therapeutic methods that may also be prescribed. Massage is integral to the traditions of Ayurveda and Indian culture. Historically, both mother and baby would receive a massage daily during the first 40 days after childbirth.
