Ayurveda Massage in Santa Rosa, CA

What is an Ayurveda Massage?

The word Ayurveda is translated in Sanskrit as "the science of life." Traditional wellness has a system that has been practiced in India for over 5,000 years — still recognized as one of the complete mind, body, and spirit healing systems to this day. Ayurvedic medicine treats each person individually, taking into consideration the person's lifestyle, diet, exercise, behavioral characteristics, body type, and more. The system's goal is to obtain a balance of the mind, body, and spirit as a whole.

Ayurveda states everyone, and everything is composed of five fundamental elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether/Space.
