TIME REVERSAL PACKAGE
Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort,
in association with renowned Dr. Mo-
saraf Ali of IMC, London offers some
very distinctive programs for its guests.
Dr. Ali’s famous clientele includes many
from the royal families all over the world,
Hollywood veterans Morgan Freeman,
Samuel L. Jackson, Micheal Douglas
and Virgin Atlantic’s Sir Richard Bran-
son amongst others.
The time reversal is a unique concept
developed by Dr. Mosaraf Ali to reju-
venate the body and the mind. The
treatment plan is partly based on Kaya
Kalpa which is an ancient secret art of re-
juvenation that integrates various forms
of treatments to enhance healthy cellular
regeneration and perfect wellbeing.
One of Dr. Ali’s masters, who died
young at age of 92 years, taught him the
various techniques and passed on some
precious manuscripts that indoctrinated
this art. As a practitioner of integrated
medicine for over three decades, Dr. Ali
was able to comprehend the deeper se-
crets of the various techniques used and
modified them slightly but essentially ar-
range them in to a plan of regime to suit
the modern requirements and life style in
the light of evidence based practice.
Dr. Ali has been able to recreate this
ancient treatment plan and introduce
it into his Time Reversal Programme.

Launched in May 2014, this programme

is available only at the Carnoustie

Ayurveda & Wellness Resort and includes

a range of licensed products, specialised

techniques and a time-tested therapy that

is safe, effective and aesthetic. The next

session of this exclusive programme is

slated to begin in September 2014.

THE ARYAVAIDYASALA

The resort’s spa, Carnoustie Aryavaid-

yasala, is founded on the principles of

Ayurveda; a word derived from Sanskrit

that fuses two connected ideas – ‘The

Science of Life’ and the ‘Art of Living.’

Unlike other Indian states, the status

of Ayurveda in Kerala is not alternative

but mainstream. This lush getaway too

takes Ayurveda as its pivot, and offers

wellness programs aimed at detoxifica-

tion, rejuvenation, weight management

and anti stress. Off the many specialized

therapies on offer, one is Shirodhara.

This process comprises pouring of herbal

oils and medicated milk/butter milk on

the forehead of the guest for about 45

to 60 minutes per day for a period of 7

to 21 days. This treatment helps treat

insomnia, loss of memory, brain diseases,

headaches, mental tension and certain

skin diseases.

Another veritable offering is the

Kalari Marma Massage, which is a

traditional Ayurvedic massage designed

to stimulate vital points of the body. This

procedure uses herb-infused Ayurvedic

oils and is administered by an expert

therapist, who applies appropriate pres-

sure to specific parts of the body to relieve

aches and pains. Marma Abhyanga not

only relieves back pain, stiffness and

sports injuries but also rouses various

bodily organs and systems.

The spa at Carnoustie also offers

rituals that take into account a person’s

dosha predominance for targeted results.

Thalapothichil is one such treatment

wherein various medicinal herbs, which

have been specifically selected for a par-

ticular guest, are made into a paste and

applied to the scalp for 30 to 45 minutes.

This treatment is good for insomnia,

premature greying and other problems of

the hair and scalp.

If muscular pains are a bane to your

life, indulge in Elaikizhi. A powerful

anti-inflammatory treatment for muscu-

lar and joint inflammations, this therapy

involves herbal leaves or powders, made

into boluses and dipped in warm medi-

cated oils, applied on the whole body or a

specific part of it. The ritual is carried out

for 45 minutes daily for a period of 7 to

14 days, and is very effective for osteoar-

thritis, spondylosis, sports injuries etc.

A varied range of beauty treatments

like the Revitalizing Mud Mask, Marine

Pedicure, Re-balancing Back Treatment,

Herbal Body Scrub and Aromaceane

Treatment along with a dedicated team

of qualified culinary professionals who

prepare healthy meals planned by nutri-

tional experts and Ayurveda doctors, turn

your trip to Carnoustie into a uniquely

restorative break which thoroughly re-

laxes your mind, body and soul.
