Holistic Wellness – The Ayurvedic Way

Considered the oldest healing science, Ayurveda is a holistic approach to health that is designed to help people live long, healthy, and well-balanced lives. Om Vedic Heritage Centre in technical collaboration with the Ayurvedic Trust, Coimbatore, India, brings home the Pioneers in Ayurveda - The Arya Vaidya Pharmacy (Coimbatore, India). The Arya Vaidya Pharmacy (AVP), which was established in 1943, is one of India’s premier multi-faceted institutions in Ayurvedic medicines, teaching, therapy, research and related areas. AVP today has a network of over 1,000 agencies, 50 branches across India and more than 25 treatment centres and hospitals in different parts of India and abroad.

 

Om Vedic Heritage Centre brings you ancient Indian Vedic techniques based on knowledge derived from an ancient Indian text called The Vedas, as well as products, services and lifestyle solutions that speak the language of tradition and wellness of the body, mind and soul.

 

Recognised as the first authentic Ayurvedic centre in Singapore to be accredited by CaseTrust (the accreditation arm of the Consumers Association of Singapore), Om Vedic Heritage Centre was given a Spa & Wellness Accreditation for good business practices in October 2010.

 

Ayurveda – An Ancient Holistic Science

Om Vedic Heritage Centre is a unique medical spa; a hybrid between a medical clinic and a day spa that operates under the supervision of a certified ayurvedic physician. Its approach is to help you make informed choices. On your first visit, the centre’s physician will usually take note of your medical history, check your pulse, palpate your abdomen, and examine your tongue, eyes, nails, and skin, etc. The physician will also ask questions about your general state of health with a special focus on your lifestyle, diet and habits. Based on this assessment, simple home remedial measures up to a full range of Ayurvedic formulas that include health massages and specific diets will then be prescribed, depending upon the intensity of the health condition or illness. Considered the ‘mother of all holistic modalities’, this fascinating ancient holistic science is very relevant in the search for solutions to today’s healthcare challenges.

Sheer Therapeutic Indulgence

The popular signature programmes among the many other types of programmes offered at Om Vedic Heritage Centre include Abhyanga, a highly relaxing and rejuvenating massage involving motions in different directions with the gentle application of warm and prescribed herbal oil. This has been found to expel toxins, alleviate fatigue, delay ageing, improve blood circulation, enhance the immune system and rejuvenate the body.

 

Om Vedic Heritage Centre’s other signature programme is the Shirodhara, in which prescribed herbal oil flows continuously over the forehead, after medicated oil is applied to the entire body. It calms the central nervous system and is also highly effective for chronic headaches like migraine.

 

A Healing Sanctuary

Step into this healing sanctuary and you will be greeted by a traditionally Indian environment, designed with warm and natural elements to imbue you with a sense of calmness and peace. Additionally, the combination of colours spanning tangerine, earth-red and white help enhance the serene atmosphere in this earthly paradise. An upper floor at the Centre facilitates the dispensing of ancient Indian wisdom in the form of yoga, breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation and astrology.

 

Indeed, Om Vedic Heritage Centre is the definitive choice for those looking for a ‘one stop centre for holistic wellness’.
