About Us

Our Story

AryaVedic was founded by Komona Govender, after years in the medical ​aesthetic industry, she developed a keen interest in researching highly ​effective and natural approaches in the treatment of skin and body ​conditions. After studying through a prominent Ayurvedic Centre in Kerala, ​India, Komona has customised and curated an ideal solution for a myriad of ​conditions.

Our Philosophy

Ayurvedic studies show that when the mind and body is in a deep state of ​relaxation, it will be more receptive towards targeted treatments. ​AYURVEDIC translates into ‘science of life’. It is important to remember that ​many skin and medical conditions stem from an imbalance in each person's ​Dosha constitution. The ‘science of life' approach utilises a traditional ​holistic way of ensuring each person's balance. Once an overall balance is ​maintained, skin health will reach its optimum.

Shirodhara


SHIRODHARA Directly translates to HEAD-FLOW. Shirodhara combines the use ​of various natural and medicated oils which are poured over the scalp and ​forehead area. This provides a soothing and calming sensation on the muscles ​of the head. The oils pass through the superficial peripheral nerves of the ​forehead to the brain. By soothing the hypothalamus, it regulates activity of the ​pituitary glands and can assist in treatment of Insomnia, Headaches, Migraines. ​Shirodhara stimulates many different points around the head area and increases ​blood circulation. Warm oils case vasodilation in the blood vessels improving ​circulation to the brain, this can help to improve concentration level and enhance ​memory (exceptionally effective for kids). Shirodhara stabilises mood, and ​feelings of well-being and happiness, also highly effective in treating depression, ​anxiety and stress. Other conditions treated by Shirodhara include Fibromyalgia, ​Muscle aches/pains, Poor blood circulation, and Fatigue/ Lethargy.

Marma Point Therapy


In Ayurvedic medicine, marma points are anatomical locations in your body ​where a concentration of life energy exists. Marma points are said to contain the ​three doshas: vata (air and space), kapha (earth and water), and pitta (fire and ​water). It’s believed to release stagnant energy and stimulate your internal ​organs, hormones, and other chemicals to help meet the needs of your body. ​Marma points therapy is done by gently stimulating the marma points around ​your body through massage therapy. Marma therapy has an immediate healing ​and relaxing effect on the body when used as a treatment for others or as a self-​treatment. Marma therapy involves subtle, and sometimes a more profound ​touch on marma points. The touch can bring about immense healing and ​rejuvenation.

Abhyanga Massage


Abhyanga ("oil massage") is a form of Ayurvedic therapy that involves massage ​of the entire body from the head to the toe with Dosha-specific warm herb-​infused oil. The oil is commonly pre-mixed with herbs for specific conditions. ​Benefits of Abhyanga include nourishing the entire body and decreasing the ​effects of aging.

Udvartana

Udvartana is a treatment in Ayurveda in which massage is done over the body. It is a ​treatment used to support weight loss or detoxification programs. In Sanskrit, the word ​Udvartana means “to move something in an upward direction”. This refers to the upward ​direction of the strokes used during the massage. The brisk massage techniques ​combined with the penetrating herbs create heat in the body to help decrease lethargy, ​release toxins, reduce fluid retention, and increase circulation.


There are two types of Udvartana, and the ingredients used vary according to the condition:

Snigdha Udvartana — Ayurvedic Paste Massage. This treatment begins by massaging warm ​herbalised oils into the body to prepare the skin for the herbal paste application. The ​heated herbal paste is then applied to the body with fast upward massage strokes.


Ruksha Udvartana — Ayurvedic Powder Massage. The heated herbal powder is applied to ​the body with fast upward massage strokes. As this is a dry massage, herbal oil isn't ​applied during the treatment.

D Naidoo


My experience with Shrirodhara with Komona was comforting and quieting. Me being a physiotherapist and understanding the benefits of stimulation of the vagus nerve , shirodhara ​as well as other aryuvedic treatment is a valuable adjunct to treatment for chronic pain. Komona is knowledgeable and an excellent therapist.”

Rishana


“If you are searching for an escape from the chaos of daily life, the Shirodhara treatment is not just a spa treatment; it's a journey into profound relaxation and rejuvenation. The gentle ​scent of essential oils filled the air, immediately calmed my senses, and prepared me for the blissful experience ahead.

The continuous stream of warm, herb-infused oil poured rhythmically onto my forehead and as the oil cascaded down in a steady flow, I felt a profound sense of relaxation enveloping ​me, melting away stress and worries with each passing moment. With each passing minute, I could feel my mind drifting into a state of blissful tranquillity, free from the hustle and ​bustle of the outside world.

As the treatment came to an end, I reluctantly emerged from my state of deep relaxation, feeling as though I had been transported to a place of pure serenity. My skin felt supple and ​rejuvenated, my mind clear and focused, and my spirit uplifted.”
