HEALTH BENIFITS

• Used as a body coolant • Works as a diuretic

• Purifies Blood

• Neutralizes Toxins

• Has anti-inflammatory Effect.

DETOX TEA... THE NATURAL EFFECTIVE CLEANSER All guests at Carnoustie are served complementary detox tea. The specially brewed tea is infused with herbs that make it very effective for controlling Gut Candida & gas and reducing stomach acidity. It improves liver function, lowers blood sugar and is useful for controlling diabetes. The tea is known to aid weight reduction, reduces the risks of various cardiovascular diseases, reduces blood pressure, strengthens the bones and helps maintain healthy and youthful skin.

CARNOUSTIE WHITE TEA White tea is known to be one of the most delicate tea varieties because it is so minimally processed. White tea is harvested before the tea plant’s leaves open fully, when the young buds are still covered by fine white hairs. These buds and unfurled leaves from the newest growth on the tea plant are handpicked and then quickly and meticulously dried, so the leaves are not allowed to oxidize as long as leaves plucked for green or black tea production. This minimal processing and low oxidation results in some of the most delicate and freshest tea available.

Health benefits of white tea include reduced risk of cancer, cardiovascular disorder and improvement in oral health. It has antioxidant and anti-aging properties which help in maintaining good health and healthy skin. It protects skin from the harmful effects of UV light. With its antibacterial properties white tea protects the body from various infection causing bacteria. White tea provides relief to diabetic people from symptoms such as decrease plasma glucose levels, increase insulin secretion and excessive thirst (polydipsia). Intake of white tea also helps in losing weight.

PANCHAKARMA... THE MASTER THERAPY The Panchakarma is the most significant treatment for purification and detoxification in Ayurveda.

Panchakarma encompasses five therapies: the Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Vasti, Raktha and the Mokshana.

These five therapies collectively help remove deep routed stress and illness causing toxins from the body while balancing the three Doshas (energies that govern all biological functions). The treatment involves daily massages and oil baths, herbal enemas and nasal administrations. Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma as a seasonal treatment for maintaining mental and physical hygiene and balance.

SNEHAPANAM... PREPARING FOR PANCHAKARMA The Snehapanam (internal oleation) is a preparatory procedure for Panchkarma therapies. The effectiveness of the Panchkarma or the purification therapies depends upon the proper mobilization of humors (Doshas) from the periphery which is to be achieved through this treatment. The therapy involves oral intake of medicated or non-medicated ‘Sneha’ or oil. Our experts use clarified butter (obtained from cow’s milk) mixed /infused with medicinal herbs. Snehapanam is done in the morning after attending to the calls of nature, on an empty stomach. The dosage will depend on the health, age, diagnosed illness and digestive capacity of the patient. The treatment lasts between five and seven days depending on the condition of the patient and the illness being treated.

ABHYANGAM... THE GREATEST EXPRESSION OF SELF-LOVE It is believed that the effects of Abhyangam are similar to those received when one is saturated with love.

Abhyanga is infusing the body with ‘prana’ or vital life force. When we infuse all our cells with love, they are revitalised and energised. It involves massaging of the body with warm oil infused with healing herbs and balancing essential oils. Abhyangam moves ‘Prana’ (vital life force energy) within the body thereby nourishing and revitalizing all body organs. It aids the removal of toxins and stimulates both arterial and lymphatic circulation. It boosts the ability of nutrients to reach starved cells and allows for the removal of stagnant waste.

PODIKIZHI... THE RYTHMIC WAY TO REJUVENATE AND REVITALIZE Podikizhi is an Ayurveda technique of fomentation in which the whole body or certain parts of the body are fomented and made to sweat, by the application of medicinal powders. A warm prescribed mixture of herbs tied in muslin pouches is gently pounded and pressed into the skin by the therapists in a rhythmic motion. The pounding is accompanied by a synchronised massage with herbal oils.

Podikizhi is very effective in treating ‘Kapha-Vata’ predominant conditions of arthritis, back pain, paralysis, and muscular pains. This treatment is useful for relieving deep seated tension, increasing blood circulation, loosening built up toxins, strengthening muscle tissue and ridding the body of excess Kapha. This treatment increases blood supply to the skin and improves skin lustre and complexion & eliminates toxins through skin pores.

ELAKIZHI... REJUVENATE WITH FRESH HERBAL / MEDICINAL PLANTS Elakizhi or Patrapotala Sweda is a rejuvenating sudation practice in Ayurveda treatments using fresh leaves of herbal/medicinal plants. Anti Vata plants, such as Eranda (Ricinus communis), Arka (Calotropis Procera), Nirgundi (Vitex negundo), Rasna (Pluchea lanceolata), coconut leaves, lemon and curcumin are fried with herbal ingredients and tied into cloth boluses. These are dipped into warm medicated oil and used for massaging the body. The massage with heated boluses induces profuse sudation, which helps in the fomentation process. Elakizhi is effective for various kinds of arthritis, spondylitis, back pain, sports injuries and for all other soft tissue inflammations especially joint pains.

VIRECHANAM... CLEARING THE TOXINS THROUGH THE GASTRO TRACT Virechanam cleanses the Pitta and purifies blood by clearing the toxins from the body. The treatment concentrates on the toxins that are accumulated in the liver and gall bladder and the gastrointestinal tract. In Virechanam, the vitiated Doshas are eliminated through the rectum. The person is then given a certain prescribed dose of herbal medicines on an empty stomach. Within 1 to 2 hours, the bowels are emptied expelling all accumulated toxins with it. Virechanam is an excellent rejuvenating. Virechanam is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, skin ailments, gout, splenic disorders, ulcers, IBS, gastritis, intestinal colic, indigestion, gynecological disorders, hypertension and stress related ailments.

SNEHAVASTI... THE MASTER CLEANSER Snehavasti is one among the five classical detoxification programme (Panchakarma) and specially recommended for Vata disorders. Medicated oils or ghritams are used to administer an oil enema, which nourishes and lubricates the body. The main seat of Vata dosha is the Pakwashaya (large intestine); therefore Vasti, the medicated oil enema, is the main therapy for all Vata disorders such as constipation, neurological ailments, paralysis, flatulence, lower backache, gout, and rheumatism. Sneha Vasti results in nourished and rebuilt Dhatus (body tissues); it strengthens their activities, restores and strengthens the body’s immunity. It is particularly helpful in curing gastric and neurological disorders, acidity, acute and chronic aches, headache and other degenerative disorders.

KASHAYAVASTI... THE HERBAL CLEANSER In Kashayavasti, a herbal decoction made of honey, rock salt, medicated oil and herbs is administered through the anal route. A massage with warm herbal oils is given before the treatment. The treatment is administered as per prescribed dosage under supervision. The body dispels all toxins with the faecal matter. This treatment is particularly helpful in curing gastric and neurological disorders, acidity, acute and chronic aches, headaches, migraines and other degenerative disorders. It is a very effective detox and weight loss procedure.

NASYAM... DETOX THROUGH THE NASAL DOORWAY TO THE BRAIN Nasyam is a very important treatment for any discomfort in the head region. Nostrils are considered the doorway to the brain. In this therapeutic treatment medicated oil, medicated powder or herbal juices are administered through the nose for a prescribed duration. This removes the excess humors accumulated in the different sinus cavities and throat and is very effective for treating migraine, hormonal imbalances, paralysis, mental disorders, premature graying of hair, loss of smell and taste and even can add clarity to the voice. It cleanses the different cavities, increases oxygenation and improves brain functioning. There are different kinds of Nasyams based on the difference in the type of medicines and oils used. Nasyam not only helps in removing toxins from the head, neck, brain, eyes, ear, nose and throat region, it also gives immunity and strengthens their functioning.

SHIRODHARA... CALMING THE “THIRD EYE” GATEWAY TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS The term ‘Shirodhara’ is derived from the two Sanskrit words: ‘shiro’, meaning head, and ‘dhara’, meaning to flow. It involves the warm and steady flow of medicated oils on the forehead, more specifically on the “third eye.” The Vedas describe the third eye chakra or ‘Ajna’ as the gateway to higher consciousness and enlightenment having deep spiritual and psychosomatic significance. The calming medicated oils flow in a continuous stream transporting the self to a calmer place thawing all negative emotions and clearing fear, anxiety, anger, or irritability. It is said to have a balancing effect on the deepest recesses of the brain. The treatment enhances blood circulation to the brain, increases mental clarity and releases deeply trapped toxins.

NJAVARAKIZHI... THE MIRACLE WITH RICE PUDDING AND HERBS ‘Njavara’ in Malayalam stands for the rice that grows in 60 days; Kizhi (Pinda in Sanskrit) stands for bolus.

‘Njavara’ is indigenous variety of rice grown in Kerala, having medicinal properties. A generous amount of medicated oil is applied over the head and body. Then the body is massaged with a warm muslin bag bolus containing njavara rice puddings cooked in a herbal decoction. At the end of the procedure, the rice paste sticking over the body is removed using coconut leaves and the treatment is wrapped up with a gentle massage with herbal oil. This treatment rejuvenates and revitalises all internal organs, makes the body suppler, slows the ageing process, improves lustre and texture of the skin, calms the mind.

PIZHICHIL... THE FAVOURITE OF THE ERSTWHILE ROYALTY Pizhichil is one the most popular Ayurvedic therapeutic treatments favored by the royal families and aristocrats of yore. The whole body is bathed in streams of lukewarm medicated oil and the patient is massaged simultaneously by two to four therapists, continuously in a special rhythmic way. The procedure is followed by a medicated steam bath. This is a highly rejuvenating treatment that enhances muscular tone and energizes the entire nervous system. It helps to eliminate toxins from the body, improves blood circulation and revitalizes all organs. It is very useful for rheumatic diseases, arthritis, paralysis, sexual weakness, neurological disorders, blood pressure, nervous weakness and helps to arrest the aging process.

MARMA Marma Chikitsa is as ancient a healing therapy Marma therapy is the energy healing of Ayurveda; utilizing 107 points or “doorways” into the body and consciousness. Each point allows for entry into the “chakras”- the vibrational energy centers along the spine in the “subtle” body, releasing blocked energy and stimulating pranic flow. Marma points, considered “doorways” or “entry points” into our body’s inner pathways, when gently pressed on the skin can stimulate a chain of positive events.

BENIFITS • Deep pain relief both locally and distally.

• Clearing of toxins on all levels.

• Improved digestion and absorption.

• Improved function of the organs.

• Healthier skin.

• Balances body temperature and can balance the “doshas”.

• Increased immunity.

• Releases neuro-chemicals such as serotonin, melatonin for improved cognitive function and deeper sleep.

• Marma can actually alter consciousness, and change one’s awareness. From that place a person can move forward with self care, creativity, and renewed energy

PRANIC HEALING Pranic Healing is one of the foremost systems of energy healing. It requires no drugs, gadgets or even physical contact, because the practitioner is working on the energy body and not directly on the physical body. It is the energy body that absorbs the life energy and distributes it throughout the physical body. If the negative energy is removed and positive energy is passed through the body, diseases can be cured.

Pranic healing works in correlation with the chakras - the seven wheels of energy. Each chakra of the body is connected with a particular endocrinal gland, with a particular sense organ, and with several other organs. Each chakra has its own mantra. By activating the chakras with the vibrations of the mantras, positive energy will flow through the body. Every sense organ, gland and organ will be energized and blockages will be removed, then the body can be cured. This practice is effective in groups or private sessions at Carnoustie Resorts
