TREATMENTS FOR THE BODDY

Ayurveda is a holistic system of healing which evolved among the sages of ancient India over 5000 years ago. This ancient science focuses on establishing and maintaining the balance of energies within us, promoting harmony between the individual and nature. In Ayurveda each person is viewed as a unique individual governed by one or more of the universal forces of nature. Good health is promoted by balancing these energies. At the Oberoi Spas, our qualified Ayurvedic therapists help determine your body type before recommending the appropriate massage and oils that would be best suited to your needs. Using the finest Ayurvedic oils and herbs, the therapies are prescribed to refresh the mind, detoxify the body and restore the natural balance of the energies within, leaving you completely rejuvenated.
