Benefits include weight loss, stress relief, and detoxification. Wherever the Ayurvedic therapies are available, an Ayurvedic Doctor is provided to prescribe the most appropriate treatments. He or she will also add nutritionist support in personalized eating plans. A minimum of three treatments for optimal results is recommended.
