Ayurveda

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is an ancient healing system originating in India 5000 years ago and is often seen as the sister subject to Yoga. At its core is a philosophy of holistic unity between the individual and nature.

Instead of trying to force human beings and medicinal drugs into one mathematical system, Ayurveda addresses the whole person and seeks to treat disease by identifying the underlying causes of illness.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is used as a way of relieving stress, healing and balancing the body’s energies. Fragrant oils that have healing properties are massaged into the skin.

Essential oils form an important part of the treatment and have many properties, i.e. pain relief, stimulating, relaxing and vitalising. The oils are chosen to suit the individual’s state of mind and body.

The benefits of aromatherapy start from the moment the aroma is inhaled. The oils are then absorbed by the skin and enter the bloodstream and lymphatic systems. The therapist will use relaxation techniques when needed and will advise on how to use aromatherapy to help treat yourself at home.

Each treatment is highly individual. Before any treatment is given a series of questions will be asked about diet, energy levels, medical history, etc. This caring, nurturing treatment serves to increase the desire to change by stimulating and revitalising the body’s own healing energy.
Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points on the body by the insertion of thin, disposable needles at points where energy is concentrated and linked to the organs in the body. It is intended to remove blockages in the flow of Qi (Chee – the body’s vital energy) and restore and maintain health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is among the oldest healing practices in the world. It is a medical system that originated in China and it is based on the concept that disease results from disruption in the flow of Qi and imbalance in the forces of yin and yang. A traditional acupuncturist seeks to re-establish the free flow of Qi to restore balance and trigger the body’s natural healing response. It is used to preserve health as well as to treat illness. It can treat a wide range of conditions.
