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.
