It helps therapists undertake therapies that are more intensive and focused for specific needs.
In addition, participants in Level 2 are trained to conduct case studies where complete consultations along with the hands-on sessions are recorded. This helps participants to get first-hand knowledge and experience on the effectiveness of each therapy conducted.

Topic List
Pinda Sweda: Ayurvedic Bolus Therapy
Using special bolus filled with medicated herbs and grains, warm oil is massaged all over the body. This is a very effective technique especially for removing stiffness from the muscles and joints. It is an intensive form of Abhyanga as the medicated bolus with the grains and herbs enable the oils to penetrate deeper into the tissues. This therapy is highly therapeutic and rejuvenative in itself as it improves blood circulation, clears away wastes from the body, strengthens digestion, enhances complexion and promotes sound sleep.
Training involves preparing the oils and bolus for the therapy, the appropriate temperature of the oil, correct positioning and techniques of application for different areas of the body.
Kattivasti: Ayurvedic Lower Back Therapy
A treatment system that focuses on the lower back, Kattivasti serves to release blockages in the spine, nourish the nervous system as well as harmonize the Doshas.
The treatment begins with placing kneaded dough as a round enclosure or “well” on the lower back, and then filling it with warm medicated oils. The oil is then gradually removed. Even though this therapy is conducted in a specific area of the body, it has an amazing effect on the overall functioning of the body.
Areas of training include preparation, positioning, temperature control, removal of oils as well as pre and post Kattivasti massage techniques.
Udvartanum: Ayurvedic Medicated Scrub
Medicated powders are applied in a particular direction all over the body in this Ayurvedic regimen. This is especially done to clear the lymphatic system as well as minor skin eruptions on the body. It has a very cleansing and detoxifying effect as it opens up the sweat glands and activates the enzymes in the skin.
Training involves preparing the scrubs with appropriate amounts of the herbs and liquids, application of the scrub effectively and clearing the medicated scrub after application.
Ayurvedic Face Therapy
This is a sequence of cleansing and rejuvenating the face with Ayurvedic scrubs (ubtans), medicated oil, steam, and ayurvedic packs. Special mild herbs and oils are used for the face, as it is a sensitive and important area of the body. Massage techniques focus on the face “Marmas”, improving circulation in the face area, calming the nerves involved, clearing away excess skin deposits, and rejuvenating the entire face.
Step by step guidance and training is provided to ensure effective preparation, application and removal techniques.
Ayurvedic Fomentation
Fomentation or use of steam has always been a part of most ancient healing systems. Ayurveda employs fomentation for relieving stiffness and eliminating wastes from the body tissues. Special herbs are used along with specific applications. Fomentation has multiple benefits as it opens up tissue adhesions thus reviving the body’s normal flow of energy through the bodily systems.
Effective preparation and application techniques are the prime focus in this training.
Padabhyanga: Ayurvedic Foot Oil Therapy
Padabhyanga focuses on the lower legs and feet. Feet incorporate all the reflex areas that correspond to different organs and glands in our body. Padabhyanga effectively stimulates and balances all these systems. Massage techniques are centered around improving circulation, removing toxins from tissues, strengthening the muscles, nourishing all tissues and cleansing the lymphatic system. Bolus and Fomentations on the lower legs and feet are added on in this therapy to enhance the benefits of this treatment.
On completion of the training, students are required to complete five case studies. This provides the necessary confidence to select and conduct Level 2 Ayurvedic therapies independently and effectively. Case studies are discussed in class, thereby widening the knowledge and experience of all students.
