Ayurveda and
Ayurvedic Services

Ayurveda or ayurvedic medicine is a form of alternative medicine in use primarily in the Indian subcontinent. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of āyus "life" and veda "knowledge", and would roughly translate as the "Science of Life". Ayurveda deals with the measures of healthy living, along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine involving surgery.

Ayurveda was first described by Agnivesha, in his book Agnivesh tantra. The book was later revised by Charaka, and renamed to Charaka Samhitā. Another early text of Ayurveda is the Sushruta Samhitā, which in addition to the Charaka Samhitā, served as the textual material in the ancient Universities of Takshashila and Nalanda. These texts are believed to have been written around the beginning of the Common Era, and is based on a holistic approach rooted in earlier Vedic culture. Its conspicuous use of the word veda, or knowledge, reveals its role in early Hinduism and explains its popularity in India. The origin of Ayurvedic medical sciences is claimed to come from a divine revelation from Lord Brahma.

Ayurveda is from the natural world and science/art of indigenous medicine practiced in eastern India for over 6,000 years and enjoying a renaissance today.

At LYNNE MARCH & ASSOCIATES we offer all our Ayurvedic services to you using only the best organic medicinal oils and organic essential oils.

TREATMENTS can be combined or done individually.  Derived from an ancient Indian tradition, these treatments are designed to help loosen toxins in the body and release excesses. The goal in all the treatments is to restore balance and reestablish calm and harmony. They are deeply cleansing and purifying to the mind, body, and soul. The treatments have a rhythm and flow that covers the entire body. Herbalized oils and essential oils are used which target your individual imbalances.

Vigorous Herbal Oil Treatment (Vishesh)

A vigorous, rhythmic treatment using herbalized oils specific to your current imbalances. This treatment breaks up adhesions, stimulates lymphatic flow, and guides impurities out of the body. When certain channels are blocked then neither awareness nor blood can access deeply seated tissues. For certain body types and imbalances, this is an essential therapeutic approach.

This treatment is designed to help clear impurities from the head area, opening the sinuses and stimulating the proper flow within the head and neck area. It works on all the senses and creates a wonderful opening and clearing of this area. This is a great treatment for those of us who are bombarded with pollutants, sensory stimulation, and for those who experience chronic head and neck problems including allergies, headaches, asthma, and eye troubles. It is also a wonderful treatment for those suffering from any problems of the neck and head regions. The 80-minute session includes a full body herbalized oil treatment that deeply relaxes the entire system.
