Ayurveda treatment

Le Royal Meridien, Chennai, has designed special Ayurveda packages to promote Ayurveda in the city. Ayurveda is a combination of two words: Ayur and Veda. Ayur means Life and Veda means Knowledge. Thus, Ayurveda stands for Science of Life. Ayurveda defines health as 'purity' of the body, mind and soul; it aims at making healthy and peaceful people.

The package contains a rejuvenation therapy where the body is rejuvenated through a course of massages and herbal oils. It is also a good remedy to slow down the ageing process. 

The hotel’s Ayurvedic centre also offers special treatment for skin care, arthritis, mental stress, hypertension, and more, which vary from an hour to three hours duration. A professionally trained therapist carries out the treatment in a traditional and authentic manner.

Details of Ayurvedic SPA treatments:

ABHYANAGA: A traditional ayurvedic massage, which uses medicated herbal oils. Two masseurs perform this full body treatment in synchrony. 

SIRODHARA: During this treatment, medicated oil is poured in an even stream onto the forehead, to pacify and revitalise the mind and body. Besides diminishing the effect of aging, Sirodhara is also effective for improving memory.

ELAKIZHI: A herbal poultice prepared with various herbs and medicated powder is combined with warm medicated oil before being massaged onto the whole body. Elakizhi promotes circulation, relieves stress and treats osteo-arthritis.

SIROVASTHY: A warm herbal medicated oil is massaged on the head after which a closely fitted cap is worn to soak in the therapeutic oil.

UDWARTHANANAM (Ayurvedic Powder Massage): A typical deep dry massage using herbal powders, which reduces obesity, imparts mobility to joints, strengthens muscles, and refreshes the body. 

NASYAM: Therapist massages the upper body from the shoulders up to induce a sweat. After this the guest inhales a dose of medicine. This treatment is highly effective for headaches, sinusitis, migranes, chronic colds and chest congestion.

THAKRADHARA: This calming therapy uses medicated buttermilk, which is poured onto the forehead to bring relief to those who suffer from insomnia, depression and other stress related problems

NAVARAKIZHI: A massage to the body with small linen bags filled with cooked rice after the liberal application of medicated oil over the whole body. The rice cooked in cow’s milk is mixed with certain herbal blends. These bags are then dipped in the same mixture and applied all over the body to induce sweat. 

PIZHICHIL: A popular rejuvenation treatment, during which lukewarm herbal oils are applied all over the body by two Ayurveda therapists in a special rhythm. The massage is very slow and light without exerting much pressure. It is very useful for rheumatic diseases, sexual weakness, blood pressure, nervous weakness and helps to arrest the ageing process.
