AKASHA WELLBEING SPA
Ayurvedic Therapies
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term, meaning “The Science of Life”. It is an ancient Indian holistic Medicinal system, which has been practised for over 5000 years. A toolkit of yoga, breathing and meditation techniques, combined with therapies, herbal remedies, and dietary and lifestyle advice, enables the promotion of good health in healthy people, and the restoration of health to individuals with health problems. There is a strong interrelationship between our minds and our bodies and this interrelationship between mind and body is the cultural framework of Akasha. We offer a range of Ayurvedic therapies – please see these in the menu below.
Please note that the timings mentioned on the treatment menu are for appointment allocation purposes only. This allows sufficient time for consultation, undressing and dressing, and relaxation after the treatment.
