TREATMENTS
Ayurvedic treatment involves establishing an individual's mind-body constitution and nature of imbalance initially and then seeking to return to a state of healthy balance. The treatment consists of the use of herbal remedies, special Ayurvedic massage therapies, dietary, lifestyle advice and other aspects of treatment, tailor made for that individual.
The time periods for the Ayurvedic treatments are guidelines it might take for a session. The exact time will differ depending on the needs of the client and a good Ayurvedic physician will design the treatment around the client. Generally the treatments are advised for 7 – 14 or 21 days depending upon the chronicity of the ailment. The treatments differ in terms of time, intensity and oils used, in order to meet the client's specific requirements.
