Ayurvedic Massage tour
Ayurveda Massage - For Health and Healing - For Rejuvenation - For Feeling Good

A unique holiday for those who would like to enjoy the benefits of Ayurvedic treatments in an authentic setting at the famous Taj Ayurveda Centre at The Gateway Hotel Calicut. Choose from a range of rejuvenation and detoxification programmes (with 7, 14, 21 or 35-day treatments), perhaps enhanced by a finale by the backwaters or an Indian Ocean beach.

The principles of a holistic healing shastra called simply 'Ayurveda', were first pioneered more than 5,000 years ago. 'Massage' - a word derived from the Greek - is the oldest of all techniques for relieving pain, shaping the organs, regenerating tissues and correcting almost all internal malfunctions. In Ayurveda, the human body constitutes three functional entities, the balance of which maintains health. Acknowledging the importance of massage, all special treatments in Kerala are formulated with a holistic approach to the body and mind.

A Golden Days tailor made 'Ayurveda Tour'

Based at the Taj Ayurveda Centre, Calicut our tour incorporates the very best hospitality of this famous centre bearing the trademark Taj hospitality, with a great deal of very serious pampering! The air-conditioned Taj Ayurvedic Centre offers rejuvenation and detoxification programmes as well as effective treatment for arthritis, rheumatism, spondilitis, back problems, Migraine, obesity, blood pressure and nervous disorders. The Centre has fully qualified doctors, trained therapists and yoga instructors. The facilities include three treatment rooms (with self-contained bathrooms and steam rooms), a yoga room and meditation centre.

Treatment in Ayurveda involves a life-style consultation and the actual treatment - a cleansing of body, mind and soul. Ayurveda teaches that an imbalance in any one of these dimensions leads to 'ill being'. It is only after a detailed consultation that the physician determines the cause of imbalance and the patient is given a detailed description of the recommended treatment.

There is a choice of 7, 14, 21 and 35-day programmes. The 7-day programme is geared towards revitalisation by overcoming tiredness and fatigue - achieved with medicated herbal oils administered during the daily sessions of oil therapy, the internal medicines, as well as the prescribed yoga postures. The 14-day programme is a more intensive course where the oil therapy pervades beyond the 7 layers of skin, right down to the bone marrow and results in the alleviation of joint pain, spondilitis and insomnia. The 21-day programme allows the oil to penetrate right into the body to benefit internal organs and operates as a detoxification process. The 35-day programme is the ideal therapeutic package as it takes 28 days to convert food into its final essence (Ojas). The 35-day allows complete detoxification.
