Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest science. It dates back to 3000 BC when the roots and the concept of Ayurveda has been established by the sages of India. It is a holistic healing system that is based on the belief that our health depends on the balance between the mind, body and spirit. It also considers health as our natural birthright and that a healthy, long life is available through proper diet and lifestyle, as well as herbal remedies.

Today many people realize the benefits of combining conventional medicine with alternative treatments. These alternative solutions are becoming more and more popular and acknowledged in our western societies. Ayurveda is an effective treatment and prevention for asthma, painful menstruation, high blood pressure, migraines, depression, chronic constipation, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity and many other medical conditions.

An Ayurveda retreat is more than just a relaxing holiday. Whether you suffer from a medical condition or just seeking a cleansing method, you can have a consultation with a doctor or therapist to get an individual diet offered. Start the day with a yoga sessions and get massage treatments every day. All this in the middle of nature, perhaps just a quick flight or drive away from your home. After a week holiday you will feel reborn.
