"According to Ayurveda, the Universe is made up of five primordial elements - earth, wind, fire, water and ether. These elements themselves are inanimate, but in combination, give rise to three main biological forces or principles in the human body called doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Every human being has a different balance of elements and one dosha is predominant in our constitution and shapes our personality. The Ayurveda regime consists of massages and specialized diet programes for present day rigours of modern day lifestyle and is specially designed keeping in mind the individual's desire to heal, cleanse, relax and revitalize.
Qualified Ayurveda doctors and therapists administer the treatments ranging from theraupatic massages to more rigorous forms of toxic elimination."
