Treatments: Descriptions/Prices
We
have broken our Ayurvedic Treatments up into 2 sections:
Healing Treatment Programmes and
Single Treatments. You
may want to under go a full healing period or you may want to receive
treatments on an ad hoc basis while you are staying with us. We have marked which treatments are available
as single treatments beside each name.
It
is strongly recommended that you complete an entire healing programme to
maximise the benefits of traditional Ayurvedic healing systems. Single Ayurvedic treatments are, however,
very effective.
