Ayurveda Treatments at Tamarahindi

Tamara, a certified Ayurvedic medicinal therapist, invites you to partake in a classic Ayurvedic treatment. Ayurveda is a traditional Indian medicinal theory, which developed in the Indus valley about 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda has a unique and holistic approach to health and healing, and aims to balance a person based on a broad view of their life and listening to the needs of body and soul. Tamara offers a wide range of treatments from nutritional assessment and lifestyle recommendations through various touch treatments, to cleansing treatments and pampering spa massages. The uniqueness of Ayurveda is in the provision of tools specific to each person according to their present state and in correlation with their natural inclination. Even after treatment, having already gone through an extensive process with the therapist, and becoming “independent”, you will have the right tools to maintain your balanced state. All treatments are done using traditional Ayurvedic medicinal materials and tools. Here you will find supplements/formulas that come directly from India as well as those prepared locally.
