Experience Ayurveda
Indimasi Healing Village offers the definitive Experience Ayurveda retreat, a 7-night programme utilising classical Ayurvedic therapy for holistic rejuvenation. Our approach is designed to restore inner balance and mitigate the effects of a stressful lifestyle. Located in Kerala, the programme integrates authentic therapies with a gentle, guided detox program, strengthening your body’s natural vitality and calming the mind.
Core Ayurvedic Therapies: Your Path to Rejuvenation
Your Experience Ayurveda package is administered through a personalised plan, beginning with a thorough consultation with our Ayurvedic physician.
Poorvakarma
(Preparatory Phase)
This initial stage involves Snehapanam (internal oleation with medicated ghee) and other preparatory therapies. This process readies the body for detoxification by loosening and mobilising deep-seated metabolic toxins (Ama) without putting any strain on your system.
Virechanam
(Herbal Purification)
A critical step in Experience Ayurveda with Panchakarma, this supervised procedure cleanses accumulated toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. This is vital for resetting the digestive fire (Agni), which improves metabolism, enhances energy levels, and brings a feeling of lightness and clarity.
Abhyangam & Kizhi
(Therapeutic Oil Massage with Herbal Bolus Therapy)
A rhythmic Abhyangam (therapeutic oil massage) followed by Kizhi (application of heated medicinal pouches) is used to address physical tension, muscle stiffness, and fatigue. The herbal boluses improve circulation, relieve stored stress in the tissues, and leave the body feeling supple and relaxed.
Shirodhara
(Medicated oil massage with herbal bolus therapy)
This deeply calming therapy is a cornerstone of our programme for stress relief. The Shirodhara treatment in Experience Ayurveda involves a continuous stream of medicated oil poured over the forehead, which pacifies the nervous system, reduces stress hormones, and alleviates mental fatigue, promoting deep, restorative calm.
Internal Herbal Support
A crucial component involves prescribing customised internal herbal medicines. These potent formulations are designed to support the detoxification process, strengthen digestive power, and enhance your overall vitality. This personalised herbal support works systemically to restore long-term balance from within.
