7. Experience an authentic Ayurvedic Wellness Programme at The Postcard Hotel

The Postcard Hotels introduces its authentic ayurvedic wellness programmes The Postcard Hotel is a collection of three intimate luxury resorts hidden in picturesque holiday destination- Goa, India. It recalls an era when holidays were sun-kissed and still, where the days were spent idling and flipping through old magazines, against the backdrop of charming, quiet neighbourhoods. In that spirit, The Postcard combines luxury with simplicity, helping you retreat to a life you’ve always wanted - simple, unhurried and filled with rich, little discoveries. The Ayurvedic consultation explores your physical, mental and emotional health to help understand the unique energetic constitution or combination of your doshas (the three dynamic living forces), to determine your body type and current imbalances. Our Ayurvedic physician then prepares a sequence of experiences and a programme for your body type that will help bring more balance, energy and peace to your entire being. Each individualised programme may tend to differ from the sample treatments suggested. One can pick from the menu medicated oil treatment, Kati Tarpanam which is 45 minutes session used to practice to ease pain and discomfort in the lower back area. The process involves an age-old technique of making circle of paste made from black gram or wheat flour and is placed on the spinal area and warmed oil is poured into the depression. Holding this medicated oil soothes muscular tissue, alleviates pain and lubricates the discs and nerves. The healing benefits of the oil penetrate through the muscles and address the effects of the toll everyday life takes on your upper and lower back. To draw you into a deeper state of relaxation, the therapy concludes with a light massage using the therapeutic oil. The other treatment Upanahasweda herbal healing wrap is another therapy for effective pain management. The ritual last for 45 minutes where warm medicated paste is applied over the affected area followed by a wrap of healing plants and a cotton bandage. The process activates the natural healing abilities of the body and relieves pain and swelling by nourishing the tissues. The other treatments on the menu includes Shiro Pichu a form oil compress.
