Avalon Ayurveda
A vacation indulged in luxury and rejuvenation is a blessing in today’s Metropolitan lifestyle. Holistic healing in the lap of nature, inhaling fresh air, gazing at sunsets and snow clad Himalayas are indeed a sharp contrast to the dusty, polluted, pressurized life in a metropolis. In the midst of recession, redundancies, stress and other modern illnesses, we find ourselves even further away from our birthright – Perfect Vibrant Health!!!
My soul, trapped in Delhi Metropolis, had been crying out for a rejuvenating retreat and thus began my odyssey to pacify my tired soul. My happiness knew no boundaries when I came across a resort with a difference. It had everything my mind, body and soul needed.
I started off towards the scenic views of the Queen of hills – Mussoorie. Less than an hour’s drive from Dehradun, this quaint hill station has been a sought after destination for summer travelers ever since the days of the Raj. Away from the hustle and bustle of Mall Road, nestled in lush greenery and surrounded by snow covered Himalayan ranges, lies Avalon Ayurveda. The Himalayas have been the home to Ayurveda, the ancient science of holistic health, for time immemorial and it is believed that Ayurveda originated from the spiritual wisdom of ancient Himalayan sages. Avalon Ayurveda invites you to heal in the midst of these sacred Himalayan ranges.
The blissful Avalon Ayurveda is an initiative of Coimbatore based, Punarnava Ayurveda. Punarnava’s Vision is ‘Authentic Ayurveda for Universal Well-being’. Authentic principles lie at the heart of Ayurveda and it is Punarnava’s mission to preserve these core principles in today’s fast moving world. Avalon Ayurveda is a perfect example of contemporary yet authentic Ayurveda in practice.
Luxury coupled with authentic Ayurveda makes Avalon Ayurveda unique. Whether you are seeking a mini wellness programme to rejuvenate mind, body and soul or a treatment programme to heal from disease, Avalon Ayurveda can help you. The treatment programmers are authentic and akin to those available in the Ayurveda hospitals of Kerala. A range of medical conditions including back pain, arthritis, depression and anxiety, digestive problems, skin diseases, allergies and migraine are treated. Detoxifying and cleansing, the treatments enable deep healing of the mind-body-spirit complex on a cellular level.
All programmes are designed to heal the mind, body and soul together. External body treatments, oral medication, diet, lifestyle, yoga and meditation are all carefully prescribed by an Ayurveda physician; Ayurveda body treatments are carried out by highly experienced therapists who have been trained in the hospitals of Kerala and the Ayurveda products are all naturally sourced from herbs, shrubs and trees, mostly growing in the wild.
Stepping into Avalon Ayurveda’s treatment centre, my weary spine and tired senses felt at ease. The breathtaking views, the fragrant aroma and the soothing music penetrated deep inside my soul. The stress and strain of my mundane life melted away as I sipped on my Ayurveda herbal tea.
My consultation with the resident Ayurveda physician was gentle and informative. The doctor prescribed me a rejuvenating Abhyanga (a medicated oil application for body and head), a steam bath, an herbal scrub and herbal tea. A smiling female therapist led me into an aroma filled treatment room; she invoked the universal healing energy by chanting a short prayer. Lying on the Droni (a special treatment table made with neemwood), herbal oil was applied to my body using elegant strokes to enhance the flow of prana. With each stroke the oil penetrated deeper and deeper into my being and with it came a renewed sense of relaxation. The steam bath was cleansed and detoxified whilst the natural green gram scrub left my skin feeling unbelievably soft and supple.
The treatment was not yet over; I still had a wholesome Ayurveda meal to look forward to. A special health menu designed for those receiving Ayurveda treatment is an equally important part of all Avalon Ayurveda packages. The Ayurveda meals are light, non greasy whole foods that settle neatly in the body. I devoured the food and found it very healthy and easy to digest.
Watching the beautiful deep orange sunset over the Himalayan ranges, my magical day came towards a close. I sure slept well that night. Headed back to the Metropolis, I felt like a new person, renewed, energized and ready to face life with a fresh outlook!!!
Avalon Ayurveda is a great weekend break away from the metropolis. Unwind, rejuvenate or heal from dis-ease, a must for your body, mind and soul.
