Treatment Details
Dr. Bhagwhan Dash, Minister of Ayurvedic Health and Family Welfare, India describes the aim
of the Siddha Ayurvedic therapies. “ In brief, the aim of this therapy is to maintain the youth of
the individual along with his long life. Instead of a society of old and invalid people, it aims at
creating a society of people with youthful vigor both physical and mental.”
Ayurveda and Siddha Vaidya are the oldest living medical systems of today, developed in India
thousands of years ago. Over centuries these important body therapies have been used for
health and well being with the added benefit of leaving your skin looking and feeling beautiful.
They improve your health, provide a calming effect, and a renewed feeling of vitality.
Beauty and Skin Care
Beauty and health are synonymous in Ayurveda and Siddha Vaidya, the oldest living medical
systems of today. Physical beauty is given emphasis as an outward expression of health. Our
skin, the largest eliminative organ, is a key to inner health. Using cleanses (Pancha Karma) and
regular body treatments (Purva Karma) one is able to maintain total body health with the only
side effect being beautiful, softer, smoother skin
Ayurveda and Siddha Vaidya beauty transcends the outer manifestations and combines the
subtle qualities like grace in posture and movement, freshness and vitality. The emphasis is on
self-knowledge and development of positive routines and habits, which result in bringing out the
best in us. Beauty is the perfection of what is visually perceived. It includes contours of the
body, texture of the skin, and quality of the hair and nails.
Ayurveda and Siddha Vaidya developed primarily as a curative and preventative medical
science. It also gave importance to wellness, beauty, longevity, and life span, with thousands of
herbal formulations to promote these aspects. The beauty and life span treatments in Ayurveda
and Siddha Vaidya have a firm base on a sound understanding of physiology and other basic
medical sciences. Using the know-ledge in herbology and its effect on various bodily functions,
with and without other physical agents like heat and steam to modulate their actions, Siddha
Vaidya and Ayurveda laid a firm foundation in beauty and longevity.
PURVA KARMA: The purpose of this treatment is to loosen and mobilize toxins trapped in the
tissues, moving them towards the organs of the body from which they can be removed by the
cleansing processes of the body. Massage (abhyanga), steam (svedana), and other full or partial
body treatments including use of herbs, pastes, and masques(snehana), foot reflexology, face
and scalp treatments, and aromatherapy, color therapy, crystals and gems, are used in
preparation for Kriya karma.
Abhyanga Massage promotes relaxation, calms the mind, and increases the circulation to body's

Kaya Kalpa
Known as Rejuvenation or Rebuilding treatments.
Ela kirzhi A rejuvenation treatment from Southern India originally reserved for royalty and the
wealthy. Pouches filled with herbs are soaked in hot, herbal oils and then gently swept across
the body. The warmth allows the skin to fully absorb the herbal oils, enabling the nutrients to
reach all the cells, making possible the removal of accumulated waste products. The treatment
brings deep relaxation, quietness of mind and soft, smooth skin. The blood is cleansed, the
immune system is enhanced and new white blood cells are produced
Navarra Kirzhi This is said to be the original treatment from India that Mark Anthony sought
for his Queen, Cleopatra. This treatment uses herbal milk, seeds and medicated oils, giving the
skin a softer, younger look and feel. The herbs not only rejuvenate, they also tone and sculpt
the body. It is the most luxurious of the Siddha Vaidya rejuvenation treatments. It can be
performed by two therapists in synchronization, applying herbal oil, preparing the body with
simple friction massage and passing herbal pouches lightly over the skin. The warmth to the
skin allows the herbs to be absorbed, increases the circulation and triggers the body’s natural
healing and rejuvenation processes. A more youthful and invigorated being is the result.
Generally Kaya Kalpa treatments (sometimes called kriya karma) are done in a series of 3, 5 or
7 consecutive days, as they build on each other, however, if only one can be taken, it is still
beneficial as it stimulates the rejuvenation process to begin.

Why are these treatments so effective?
Siddha Vaidya and Ayurveda use special herbalized oils and herbs that trigger changes in the
tissues and organs systems of the body to bring balance and harmony to the overall system. The
oils contain herbs called adaptogens that have been discovered to not only provide nutritional
support but balance and modify systems of the body. These adaptogens, as they are called, will
instigate a reaction in the body that is appropriate to achieve a state of homeostasis or balance.
The reactions affect the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system, and blood pressure,
among others.
Adaptogens are credited with these properties: helping the body adapt to stress, tending to
bring the body back to homeostasis, increasing protein biosynthesis, raising antibody titer after
immunization, elevating body enzyme synthesis, promoting general endocrine synthesis,
improving mental ability, increasing physical ability, fighting free radicals, improving eyesight,
increasing color perception, prolonging life span, being beneficial to cardio-vascular and
respiratory systems, and improving non-specific resistance to various stressors like heat, cold,
etc.
