Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old healing system from India and the sister science to yoga, offers a range of integrative treatments and protocols to optimize physical and mental performance, improve recovery time, and prevent injuries in sports enthusiasts of all levels, from weekend warriors to elite athletes. Ayurvedic Medicine recognizes each individual as unique, with their own mind-body constitution or "dosha." Through this approach, Ayurvedic practitioners can tailor treatments and nutritional guidelines to suit the specific needs of the athlete, taking into account their dosha, sport, training schedule, and personal goals. By incorporating Ayurvedic practices such as herbal supplements, massages, and customized nutrition plans, athletes can enhance their stamina, strength, and flexibility, while also benefiting from faster recovery times from injuries. Ayurveda's holistic approach, which includes mental and emotional well-being, can also help reduce stress and improve focus, leading to better performance both on and off the field.​
 
Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
The skin is the largest breathing organ, and the external application of anti-inflammatory herbs like Turmeric on the skin can aid muscle recovery, rejuvenation, and injury prevention. Treatments such as the Herbal Bolus Massage (also known as PindaSweda) uses heated rice grains, medicinal herbs, and oils wrapped in soft cloth boluses. The warm boluses dilate the pores, allowing for deeper penetration of healing herbs into tissues. The heated herbs soothe and rejuvenate tired muscles while encouraging circulation and detoxification. This is an excellent treatment for chronic injuries, arthritis, and muscular pain.
