Bamboo Ayurvedic Spa

Ayurveda (meaning 'science of life' in Sanskrit) is a holistic system of medicine which originated in India 5000 years ago and has been practised in Sri Lanka for over 3000 years.  

The basic Ayurvedic approach is to balance the mind, body and spirit through traditional techniques and treatments which promote health and prevent illness.  An Ayurvedic doctor views people as having a unique constitution and combination of life forces (known as Doshas) which determine their physical and psychological health and vulnerabilities. 

A healthy balance between all these elements is maintained by using a personalised regime of cleansing practices, herbal medicines and massage.

On your first visit to Bamboo Spa, you will have a consultation regarding any health conditions, allergies or injuries which may affect your treatment (adults over 18 only please).
