OUR PURPOSE

AYURVEDA PHILOSOPHY

Though oldest, Ayurveda is one scientific form of healthcare in the world and this science has a strong background in Indian philosophy. It is called the healing science of India and utilizes the blessings of nature to restore the balance of the body. The very uniqueness of Ayurveda is that it not only helps the body to control diseases, but also teaches us to harmonize our body and mind with the universal laws of nature, thereby removing the very roots of a disease.

Our Ayurveda team is led by Dr. Hema K.P, working along with seven other doctors. Our team of therapists at Nattika consists of 70 masseurs who are experienced and trained in traditional Ayurveda treatments, and Kalari massage techniques.

Your Ayurveda treatment program will be under the personal guidance of our Ayurveda Doctors at all stages.

TREATMENT PRINCIPLES

There has been a phenomenal increase in the demand for specialized therapies of Ayurveda and particularly Panchakarma, not only for the treatment of diseases but also for preventive & promoting health. As a result, many health centers and resorts are providing these therapies, but it should be done only by a proper examination, proper planning, and proper guidance as we focus on restoring the natural harmony of your body and mind. During the first consultation at Swastha, our doctors will ask for your medical history and will do the examinations based on Ayurveda (Darshana- Inspection and observations, Sparshana – Palpation, Purgation, Auscultation, Prashna – Interrogation like general state of health with special focus on your lifestyle, diet, habits, and environmental surroundings).

Based on this assessment, our doctor will try to:

  •  Analyze the imbalance of Doshas
  • Discover your body’s constitution (Prakriti)
  • Plan the treatments for the specific conditions and to remove the accumulated toxins, which is the main cause of most problems
  • Plan the Diet according to the specific imbalance
  • Prepare your body for maximum effect of oral medication
  • Make recommendations on how to restore your natural balance, which always includes changes in your lifestyle, diet, etc.

OUR METHODOLOGY OF HEALING BODY, MIND AND SOUL

Our treatments are planned focusing on the Shodana (Body purification), Shamana (Pacification), and Rasayana (Rejuvenation) type of management motioned in the Ayurveda classics.

SHODANA CHIKILSA (Body Purification Therapy): Due to our food habits, daily routines, climatic variations etc, toxins get accumulated inside the body and it leads to the imbalance of the tridosha. To get rid of these toxins, body purification therapies are proposed by doing Snehanakarma, Swedanakarma, and Panchakarma to attain proper balance of dosha.

SHAMANA CHIKILSA (Pacification Therapy): This therapy can be done after Shodana therapy, and also directly when there is less vitiation of dosha or when the person is not fit to undergo the purification therapy. Various treatment measures and herbal medications are used internally and externally to correct the derangement of dosha.

RASAYANA (Rejuvenation Therapy): The various cells and tissues of the body undergo changes as age advances. it is very necessary to rejuvenate the body systems for a better harmony of health. Aimed at achieving this goal, the doctors plan various treatments to rejuvenate your body.

Different stages of Ayurveda treatments:

  • The main purification therapies are often preceded by a preparatory phase (poorva karma) which includes administration of medicated ghee and other medicines along with different external therapies.
  • This is followed by the main cleaning therapy (pradhana karma).
  • After the main cleaning therapy there will be an aftercare (paschat karma) which is followed for the gradual buildup of digestive power, energy and restoration of doshas in a balanced state. This includes special treatments and regulations in diet, activities and medicines.


This cycle may be repeated several times according to the conditions and progress in symptoms. In Ayurveda, diet and activity regulation is considered equally important as medicines and therapies. The entire treatment is overseen by special diets, yoga and exercises specific to the body nature, climate and imbalance.

NATTIKA ESSENCE

The Nattika Life Herbal and Oil Company presents to you, “Nattika Essence”, a pioneering innovation by combining the science of Ayurveda and Aromatherapy.

Ayurveda considers the use of aroma as an important tool for prevention and healing. Some plants have a very high concentration of essential oils, which they have developed for their protection. Such plants have been used as medicinal plants / herbs since thousands of years to add to our own body’s arsenals of defense.

Essential oils are the aromatic or volatile extracts, which can be derived from different parts of the plant. The properties and healing action of the essential oil is different according to the source of origin.

Each plant has its own unique combination of five elements (Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth) and gives rise to its distinctive structure and fragrance. Hence the ‘pachabhouthik’ (Five elements) balance of the body can be maintained and restored by using the proper blend of these aromas.

Ayurveda makes the distinction in the energetics of each herb and we can classify the essential oils into hot, cold, medium category as well as dry and wet nature. This further makes the possibility of classification based on Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. This concept makes it a natural blend of aromatherapy using essential oils and carrier oils to help balance ones Dosha.

Each essential oil used in aromatherapy has its own array of unique healing properties, uses and effects that can help us to heal, stimulate, relax, concentrate, reduce stress, balance our emotional state and help to manage various health issues.

In our Nattika Essence box you will find a special combination of ten blended essential oils for your wellbeing.
