What is Ayurveda?

A Diagnosis-First System, Not a Spa Menu
Ayurveda - Sanskrit for "the science of life" - is a traditional Indian system of medicine, first codified around the 2nd century BCE, that treats illness by identifying an individual's dosha (constitutional balance of Vata, Pitta and Kapha) and correcting imbalance through herbal medicine, diet, oil therapies and lifestyle change rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

At Tigris Valley, every guest begins with a consultation and pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) before any therapy is prescribed. The treatment plan that follows - typically 7, 14 or 21 days - is built around that diagnosis, not selected from a fixed menu.

FAQs

Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India around the 2nd century BCE. It treats illness by diagnosing an individual's dosha (constitutional balance of Vata, Pitta and Kapha) and restoring balance through herbal medicine, oil therapies, diet and lifestyle change, rather than treating isolated symptoms.

Our most common cases are digestive and metabolic issues (acidity, IBS, fatty liver, diabetes support), musculoskeletal pain (arthritis, chronic back pain), stress and sleep disorders, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. We also run condition-specific programs for cancer support, autoimmune disorders and post-trauma rehabilitation — see our full program list.

Panchakarma is Ayurveda's classical five-action detoxification protocol, used to remove accumulated toxins and reset digestive function. A complete Panchakarma program at Tigris Valley typically runs 14–21 days, though shorter introductory protocols of 7 days are available for first-time guests.

Yes, when done under trained practitioners.

Most guests at Tigris Valley book 7, 14 or 21-day programs. Shorter stays (3–5 days) are available for rejuvenation and stress relief without a clinical condition, while complex chronic conditions are generally recommended a minimum of 14 days for measurable results.

Abhyanga is a full-body Ayurvedic oil massage using warm herbal oil selected for the individual's dosha. It is typically performed by two therapists working in synchronized strokes and is used both as a standalone relaxation therapy and as a preparatory step before deeper Panchakarma procedures.
