Ayurveda, or The Science of Life, is the ancient Indian practice of healing and prolonging life. Its origins date back to over 5000 years.

Ayurveda is completely natural. Its techniques incorporate nutrition, herbal medicine, massage and yoga. The concept of Ayurveda not only aids in healing and restoring the body, it can also help prevent illnesses and fatigue.

Natural spices and vegetable drugs such as cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom have only recently been receiving praise for their healing and prevention properties in the UK and Europe but these have been used in India for generations in the form of Ayurveda.

In the context of massage, Ayurveda works via a pressure point system called Marma(s). The 5 Marma points are bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and vessels.

This effective massage technique revives tired muscles and soothes aches and pains by unblocking and revitalising your Marmas.

The Ayurvedic massage was used in ancient times to heal warriors and give them much needed stamina for their day to day activities.
Today the benefits include;
