Discover what Abhyangam massage is, its key benefits, and what to expect during a session at Siddha Ayur Spa in Albufeira, Algarve.
In Ayurveda, everything starts with understanding your dosha. This is your unique mind-body type, and it shapes how you respond to stress, food, environment, and lifestyle.
At Siddha Ayur Spa in Albufeira, treatments are tailored based on your dosha, which is why understanding it is such an important first step.
What is a dosha?
There are three main doshas in Ayurveda:
- Vata (air + space): linked to movement
- Pitta (fire + water): linked to metabolism
- Kapha (earth + water): linked to structure
Everyone has a mix of all three, but one or two are usually dominant.
