Services Offered
Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Oil Massage)
A warm, gentle, full-body oil massage can be incredibly effective in managing pain and promoting relaxation. The warm, herb-infused oils used can penetrate deeply into the tissues, reducing inflammation, relieving pain and promoting circulation.

Helps reduce anxiety, insomnia, and stress by calming the nervous system.
Marma Therapy (Energy Healing Touch)
A light pressure technique on vital energy points to encourage balance, relaxation and release of physical and emotional blockages.
Herbal Teas & Nutritional Support
Gentle Ayurvedic herbal preparations to aid digestion and nourishment.
By consuming foods that are easily digestible, nourishing, and in balance with their dosha, patients can better manage symptoms, maintain strength, and promote healing.
Herbal remedies with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties are incorporated depending on the client’s needs and choice. Herbal support can be administered orally as teas, capsules, or tinctures, or applied topically as oils or balms.

Spiritual Counseling can support clients in exploring and deepening their spiritual practices, while respecting their individual beliefs and traditions.
At Sampoorna College of Ayurveda & Vedic Studies, we believe spiritual well-being is the fundamental pillar of palliative care, as patients often grapple with existential questions, seek meaning, and struggle to make sense of life’s purpose in the face of life-limiting illnesses.
Ayurvedic principles recognize the importance of spiritual well-being and offer guidance supporting patients’ spiritual needs, as well as those of their loved ones and caregivers.
We provide psychospiritual tools as well as:
Grief & Transition Support (Individual & Group)

Why Choose Ayurveda?
Ayurveda views health as a state of balance between the body, mind, and spirit. When this balance is disrupted, illness and suffering can arise. In the context of palliative care, Ayurvedic interventions aim to restore balance, alleviate symptoms, and promote a sense of peace and well-being.
This holistic approach recognizes that each individual is unique and requires an individualized care plan that addresses their specific needs.
Ayurvedic Palliative Care can develop a personalized management plan that incorporates different modalities to address specific imbalances and promote balance. This approach not only alleviates physical symptoms but also supports the patient’s emotional and spiritual well-being, which is crucial during this challenging time.
Embracing the wisdom of Ayurveda can help patients and their families navigate the challenges of life-limiting illnesses with grace, resilience, and a greater sense of peace and well-being.
