Ayurveda

[Lilac]

I am really interested to hear if anyone has had any kind of Ayurvedic treatments, and if so, what they thought about them

Many Thanks

Hi Lilac

I know a little about ayurveda as I spend the winters in South India. I know many people who have had ayurvedic treatments for various ailments - they usually seem to involve huge (and I do mean huge) bottles of medicine which have to be taken for a very long time. I think the illness usually gets bored and goes away! I once went to an ayurvedic practitioner (who I was later told was a charlatan - after all how can you tell?) for a one day detox. Well everything came out of both ends and I then had to go home and cover myself in a special oil and not wash for three days (if I remember right.) It was great!

Seriously, good ayurvedic doctors are few and far between as the training takes years and years. I believe there is an ayurvedic clinic in London (Regents Park) which charges an absolute fortune for treatments. Even in India the best clinics are not cheap.

Hi Lilac,

Do you mean Ayurvedic medical treatments, or Ayurvedic massage treatments?

I have had and do Marma Massage. Very fast and vigourous using lashings of hot sesame oil which is rubbed hard into the skin. Its a more invigorating than relaxing treatment and your skin feels lovely afterwards.
