What does the day involve for a beginner?
The property says guests start with a consultation with its Ayurveda doctors, who draw up a personalised plan: daily head, face and synchronised body oil treatment with two therapists, a herbal or steam bath, herbal decoctions, elixirs and acupuncture. Yoga, spiritual activities and, on some days, short excursions are part of it.
Can I come with no medical problem?

What if I have a specific medical condition?
