3 treatments from Stress Management package

Abhyangam

A traditional balancing method of massage which harmonises energy in the mind and body. This therapy releases deep rooted tension, stress and depression, and regenerates one’s overall health. Massages at the Centre are performed with either Ayurvedic herbal oils or essential oils.

Udwarthanam

Shirodhara

A treatment which balances the nervous system through the use of herbal medicated oil, dripped slowly onto the forehead. It is a very effective treatment for releasing tension. It helps the mind to be grounded, and assists with all kinds of mental imbalances.

Patra potli

Herbal hot bundles massage

A therapy used to provide relief from pain, and rejuvenate and strengthen the soft tissues, joints and muscles of the body. The Potli, or poultice, is filled with herbal oils, powders or medical concoctions which are applied and massaged over the body. Ayurvedic and natural herbs are crushed and bundled into the cloth bundles (potlis), and these warm poultices are used to massage the parts of the body to induce heating.

The essence of Ayurveda is a way of life, a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is an ancient system of rejuvenation of both the body and mind.

The treatments that we offer are based on Ayurveda’s holistic views of the body, which covers lifestyle issues, diet, mental attitudes and a person’s individual constitution.

What Our Guests Say About Their Ayurvedic Experience

FAQ

What causes stress and depression

Stress and depression are created by the lifestyle, habits and circumstances of your life, which determine the state of your mind and its energy.

The prime cause of stress is when the mind is hyperactive, while the prime cause of depression is when the mind is functioning in a very passive mode. Ayurveda therapy for de-stress and anti-depression is similar – it brings the mind into a state of balance and harmony.

Stress and depression can be caused by different factors:

External/Environmental
- Personal problems
- Financial difficulties
- Death of a loved one, moving house, etc.
- Heavy workload, work pressure, discrimination or harassment, etc.
- Traumatic events such as violence, rape, accident, war, etc.

Internal
- Insecurity, fear, uncertainty and pessimism
- Rigid or self-centred attitudes
- Unrealistic expectations
- All-or-nothing mentality

Stress affects different parts of our life:

Emotional
- Feeling irritable
- Lack of control
- Feeling that you are not worth anything
- Running away from situations

Physical
- Low energy levels
- Headache
- Stomach upset
- Insomnia
- Chest pain
- Low immunity
- Lack of sexual desire

Cognitive
- Worrying
- Over-active mind/lack of focus
- Forgetfulness

Behavioural
- Changes in appetite
- Procrastination
- Drug or substance abuse

When you continue to experience stress or depression over a longer period, the symptoms manifest as:

Mental health problems
Deep depression or anxiety
Cardiac problems such as high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke
Sexual imbalances and weaknesses
Gastrointestinal problems
Menstrual imbalances
Diabetes
Thyroid imbalances etc.

Can ayurveda help with stress & depression

Ayurveda realises that stress, also known as sahas, is the root cause of many diseases. The modern allopathic (medical) systems see stress as both a positive or a negative experience of the adrenal system. However, in the system of Ayurveda, stress is closely related to the three vital energies (or doshas) called vata, pitta and kapha. These doshas are the key to understanding the triggers behind your stress, and helping you to adopt a balanced lifestyle which will build up the intensity of your vitalityand your awareness, so that you can overcome your stress. To know more about your personal vata, pitta and kapha, please refer to the Self-diagnosis Chart on the What is Ayurveda page of this website.

DEPRESSION EXPLAINED IN TERMS OF THE DOSHAS

According to Ayurveda, depression is the outcome excessive kapha which leads you to become passive; this creates imbalances in the brain, which are known as the vata. When these imbalances also affect the body’s metabolism,it is known as the pitta.The result of any sudden imbalance in vata and pitta is the release of excess kapha, creating heaviness, gloom and hopelessness in the body, and culminating in depression.

Who can benefit from this ayurveda program?

At some level, we are all either stressed or depressed due to our modern technological lifestyle, economic and political circumstances, and our personal attitudes, so this program can be beneficial for everybody.
