You will also receive a diet plan and practical lifestyle guidance tailored to your stay.

Ayurvedic Treatment and Therapies

Throughout the programme, you will receive traditional therapies aimed at balancing your doshas and addressing common health concerns. Treatments may include Shirodhara, Marma therapy, and other focused therapies designed to revitalise and heal from the inside out.
