Shirodhaara
Shirodhara is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that originated in India and has been practiced for thousands of years. The term "Shirodhara" is a combination of two Sanskrit words: "shiro" means head, and "dhara" means flow. This therapy involves a continuous stream of warm herbal oil, medicated milk, buttermilk, or other liquids poured in a gentle and rhythmic manner over the forehead, specifically targeting the "third eye" area.
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine that emphasizes natural healing approaches and the body's inherent ability to heal itself. It employs various natural therapies and non-invasive techniques to promote overall health and well-being. Naturopathic medicine focuses on treating the root causes of illnesses rather than just managing symptoms.
Yoga
Yoga is a holistic system of physical, mental, and spiritual practices that originated in ancient India thousands of years ago. The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root "yuj," which means to unite or join, symbolizing the union of mind, body, and spirit. The ultimate goal of yoga is to attain a state of self-realization and inner peace.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient medical practice that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy pathways, known as meridians, with the aim of balancing the flow of energy, or Qi (pronounced "chee").
Acupressure
Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that originated in ancient China and has been used for thousands of years. It is a form of alternative medicine based on the concept of energy flow within the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the body's vital energy, known as "Qi" (pronounced as "chee"), flows through specific pathways called meridians. When this energy flow is blocked or disrupted, it is believed to result in various physical and mental health issues.
