Ayurvedic Spa Treatments with Tova Miller
The basic principle of Ayurvedic therapy is to remove impurities from the body, eliminating the physical and emotional toxins that accumulate as a result of daily life. This helps strengthen the immune system, reduce stress and the aging process, enhance energy and state of well being, thus improving your overall health and appearance. While Ayurvedic beauty regimens such as exfoliation, hydration, cleansing, and massages are common, the products and methods used are different from most spa treatments, and are customized to each individual. Massaging the body promotes vitality, strength, stamina, flexibility, concentration, confidence, esteem and youthfulness. Ayurvedic treatments are holistic and organic, and many of the ingredients used in these therapies
are herbs and other natural foods.
Ayurveda complements Yoga in its primary goal of a healthy body. Different Ayurveda massages and treatments help relax the muscles and help yoga practice. Ayurveda attempts to provide a huge amount of support to yoga. There are many yoga exercises and kriyas that help removal of different toxins and unwanted substances from the body, but without proper Ayurvedic assistance all these exercises do not work as efficiently. It would be very relevant to say that Ayurveda and yoga go hand in hand, complementing each other and helping the human body to lead a healthy and long life.
