by Ananda in the Himalayas

With festive season and holidays on the horizon, those seeking a getaway with a difference might be advised to consider one with health benefits. The renowned destination spa Ananda in the Himalayas has a great package to achieve this, one that not only transports guests to a stimulating and picture-perfect environment but also binds together physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing in a holistic philosophy that lingers long after the guests return home.

The principles of Ayurveda are scientific, based around the five elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth and the doshas or energies which govern the state of health – vata which represents the body in motion such as heart beat, respiration, and muscle and nerve movements; pitta which regulates the body metabolism and governs digestion and body temperatures, and kapha, the strength and stamina of the body from bones and muscles through to the skin.

Ayurveda at Ananda is a personalized programme that includes stimulating and purifying therapies, daily yoga and meditation, and a Dosha-specific Ayurvedic diet to help reduce stress, improve health, and address common ailments or simply delay the aging process

• 7- day Ananda Ayurvedic Santvanam Program for detoxifying, de-stressing, and revitalizing
• 14 –day Ananda Ayurvedic Sodhanam Program for deep therapeutic effect and relief from specific medical and health conditions
• 21-day Ananda Ayurvedic Rasayanam Program for all encompassing healing

The Ananda menu places emphasis on the importance of a balanced diet. Ayurvedic food can be divided into six fundamental categories according to taste: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent, with each taste containing nutritional factors that the body needs for proper functioning. The rejuvenation diet at Ananda includes all six tastes, and macronutrients like protein, fat,  and carbohydrates in each meal.
