ABOUT AYURVEDA PRACTICES FOLLOWED IN SANTANI
Sri Lanka’s wellness tradition, rich with over 5,000 years of history, is deeply rooted in the ancient practice of Ayurveda. Regardless of one’s interpretation of the Ramayana, it is undeniable that Sri Lanka is home to unique medicinal plants that grow only here and in the Himalayas. These therapeutic botanicals are the foundation of Ayurveda, a Sanskrit term combining “ayur,” meaning ‘life,’ and “veda,” meaning ‘knowledge.’
At Santani, we honour this timeless tradition through our meticulously crafted Ayurveda programs. Our approach is deeply rooted in the two fundamental forms of Ayurvedic treatment: Shamana and Shodhana.
- Shamana focuses on alleviating symptoms, providing relief and management of health conditions through balanced diet, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments. This form of treatment is ideal for managing chronic conditions and maintaining overall well-being.
- Shodhana, on the other hand, translates to ‘cleansing’ or ‘to wash away.’ This treatment aims to detoxify the body, addressing the root causes of diseases by eliminating accumulated toxins and impurities.
Key uses of Ayurveda include preventive care through healthy living and tailored diets, detoxification techniques like Panchakarma to cleanse the body, and managing chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and digestive disorders by addressing their root causes. Additionally, Ayurveda helps reduce stress with yoga, meditation, and herbal therapies, and it offers natural skincare and beauty treatments for internal and external rejuvenation. By boosting immunity with herbal formulations and improving digestion through dietary adjustments and lifestyle practices, Ayurveda aims to create a harmonious balance between mind, body, and spirit, leading to long-term health and vitality.
