During your Ayurveda Wellness Program we develop a greater understanding, identify any health problems and jointly develop an Ayurvedic approach to balance your dosha-s (vata, pitta, kapha). Daily we review the effects of your previous day with in-depth questioning and reading of the nadi pulse, then adjust your wellness program to best suit your needs. This is also a valuable time to ask and learn about Ayurveda and anything specific for your educational understanding.

Purvakarma Treatments
(1.5 hours daily)
PURVAKARMA TREATMENTS (2 hours): Tedd Surman works with both male and female Indian Ayurveda doctors and Ayurveda Practitioners. We choose the appropriate doctor or doctors depending on your needs and preferences. Together we give you daily purvakarma treatments (external) of Abhyanga and Svedhana. These are a full body oil bath of medicated oils which balances your dosha-s, (vata, pitta, kapha) and brings them back to their rightful place. This aligns and strengthens your system so that 75% of your health issues reduce. We apply medicated oils by feeding you through your skin, which is your largest organ of the body. Regular abhyanga treatments balance a person holistically so that you can enjoy a natural and healthy life.
PANCHAKARMA TREATMENTS (extra cost): If required additional panchakarma treatments (internal) and Ayurvedic medicines can be given to help the process of reducing ama.
STEAM OR HOT BATH (15 minutes): At the completion of each treatment you receive a heated svedhana steam bath or hot bath to help remove the toxins and oils. You are provided with comfortable Indian 'lungi' clothing to wrap yourself after receiving the treatments. Your good clothing is prone to color depending on the different types of oils and herbs that we have used.
YOGA

DAILY DIET: Freshly cooked Ayurveda Indian meals are served daily with foods that are organically and locally grown. Meals can be prepared to suit each person's constitution, and can be adjusted for any health issues or specific dietary patterns. Indian food is a gentle scrub for your stomach, intestines and colon. The importance of creating a simple daily food diet during your wellness program is to establish new samskara-s (healthy eating patterns) and to stabilize the apana (stomach region) to help balance your dosha-s (vata, pitta, kapha).
