Rather than a science of experimentation or research, Ayurveda is what’s known as a ‘cognised’ science. Highly enlightened ancient sages known as rishis (‘seers’ of reality) through attaining higher states of consciousness were able to witness through direct experience the fundamental laws of nature that govern all of life. Over 6000 years ago, this wisdom was given to the world in what's known as the Ayurvedic texts. Today, to experience the benefits of Ayurveda, we need to go beyond the books, and apply and live the wisdom.

No. Every retreat has their own individual focuses. At Sukhavati, our unique approach is in making Ayurveda simple, practical and easily applicable for everyone. This is especially true for those who have never heard of Ayurveda before or only know a little about it. We pride ourselves on helping people transform their health even without knowing a lot about Ayurvedic medicine. Of course, for those who are keen to learn more, we provide a range of seminars, classes, doctor guidance, take-home written material and ongoing social media education to provide lifelong learning. The main thing about our approach here at Sukhavati, is to be flexible to what you most need.

Yes, Ayurveda can benefit everyone. Like any time-tested wisdom however, it needs to applied properly for optimal results. At Sukhavati, our skilled Ayurvedic doctors ensure that each program is carefully customized to meet your unique needs, guiding you through therapies that are safe, balanced, and highly effective. This individualized approach allows Ayurveda to work harmoniously with your body, promoting healing, rejuvenation, and overall wellness, no matter your age, lifestyle, or health background.

Yes, Ayurveda is completely safe when practiced as it was traditionally prescribed. At the core of Ayurvedic wisdom is that most of the benefits come from realigning our diet, exercise, sleep and daily routine with the natural cycles of life – there can’t be anything safer than that. The only issue with the safety of Ayurveda has been some recent media reports showing high levels of heavy metals in certain Ayurvedic herbal preparations. This however is indicative of unscrupulous or negligent manufacturing procedures, not authentic Ayurvedic herbs. In addition, all Sukhavati herbs are made under the guidance of our head Ayurvedic doctor – Doctor Komang – and use locally sourced plants. Nature's medicines, when properly sourced and used are by far the safest medicines of all.
