Panchakarma testimonial

After experiencing the benefits of Ayurvedic massage treatments whilst on holidays in India, it has been an enormous blessing to discover Karin. Her extensive knowledge, experience and very loving nature make her a highly credible practitioner.

The principles of Ayurveda make very good sense to me as I seek to improve my health and live a more balanced lifestyle. The health benefits I have gained in a very short time through the massage treatments, herbs and diet have been amazing! 

 Recently I travelled to the city for two weeks of the Panchakarma treatment. The only way I can try to explain the outcome of this amazing experience is by the responses of my family, friends and colleagues upon my return home. I’ve had the most lovely and flattering comments about how great I look to how much I’m glowing and how my skin and hair look amazing! Of course I feel so ‘clean’ and so well, and now I’m very conscious of maintaining this incredible wellness by being more vigilant in practising the basic Ayurvedic principles especially the diet to balance my  doshas.

Thank you Karin …for your very caring and professional approach and especially for maintaining the authenticity and integrity of Ayurveda – a very important and powerful ancient health system.

Panchakarma testimonial

” The warmth and professionalism Karin showed during my panchakarma was above reproach. I could feel the benefits of my treatment almost immediately. Once I had finished my treatment, I felt a sense of lightness, joy and mental clarity, of which I had not felt in years. Since my treatment, my fresh outlook on life has opened up many wonderful opportunities for me. I remain grateful for my treatment, and cannot wait for my next panchakarma. I would highly recommend Karin and the panchakarma treatment to anyone wanting to treat and nurture their body, mind and soul. Thank-you again Karin for such a beautiful experience”

Caroline

Panchakarma testimonial

I am so happy about my improved wellbeing. The clarity of mind achieved by Ayurveda lifestyle is hard to surpass. It just keeps on getting better. I have done two Panchakarma’s, once you make to time to do it properly you won’t look back.  The hardest thing is creating the right environment for the Panchakarma and coming to terms with relaxing and not doing anything for three weeks. It is recommended to just walk, read or just do little bit of gardening which is very important to so that you get the full benefits.

It is a bit of a luxury to have someone with such knowledge for consultations who is meticulous about performing authentic treatments. Something rarely found, Karin is more than happy to answer questions, give support, and enjoys seeing the positive outcomes that are achieved.

Thank you for sharing, Karin

Mukta – Natural Pearl and its Ayurvedic use

The Pearl is a moon stone and is considered to help overcome obstacles in life due to planet moon.

The pearl which shines like a star, smooth and clear, light in weight, pleasing, round, and looks like clear water is considered the best.

It is said that the goddess Lakshmi will give the person blessings who is wearing them and they enjoy good fortune.

According to rasa paddhati there are three types of lustre in the pearls

1. madhucchaya – like honey

2. sitachaya – like sita/ sugar

3. srikhandachaya – like butter/ cream

The pearl lustre of srikhandachaya (butter/cream) is considered to be of superior quality.

Pearls are used to prepare classical Ayurvedic formulations called bhasma and pishti. Being alkaline in nature it is used in hyperacidic conditions of the stomach. Its chemical compostion is CaCo3 (Calcium Carbonate) so it is a good natural source of Calcium.

Pearl necklaces are good to wear in summer month. They are useful in hormonal imbalance, headaches, migraine, loss of concentration and memory, insomnia, uterine disorders, infertiliy, heart disesase (Hridroga), eye disease, depression, and help to deal with stress.
