Tara Grodjesk, President of TARA Spa Therapy, has been a
champion of Ayurvedic-inspired spa treatments since 1987. Since
then, these treatments have topped many spa’s best-seller lists
because of the profound healing effect they have on spa-goers.
Ayurveda means life (ayur) knowledge (veda). It is called the
“mother of all healing” because so many holistic healing modal-
ities are rooted in Ayurveda including herbology, aromatherapy,
gem or crystal therapy, sound therapy, color therapy, reflexology,
polarity therapy and energy balancing.
Ayurveda is where the reference to balancing of body, mind
and spirit originated, and is the oldest recorded healing science,
dating back 8,000 years.
The Ayurvedic Herbal Body Rejuvenation spa treatment
combines five of the most popular spa treatments into one
extraordinary experience: botanical body mask, exfoliation,
tara spa therapy’s treatments and products focus on individual
doshas, which are part of ancient ayuervedic teachings.

“The beauty of the Ayurvedic Herbal Body Rejuvenation is
that you don’t have to know anything about Ayurveda to enjoy
its different textures and aromas,” Grodjesk says. “The other very
important point is it works internally and externally as a truly
holistic experience. The herbs work on calming the nervous
system and balancing energy.”
Grodjesk also notes that this treatment is great for someone
who has had a lot of different spa experiences and wants
something new.

Ayurvedic treatments and rituals have become very popular
among the spa community around the world. It’s always inter-
esting to see such an ancient modality translated into modern
times. Shankara is where “East meets West,” blending to create
a product line that uses the best from both the ancient eastern
science of Ayurveda, and the western state-of-the-art anti-aging
science.
Shankara’s authentic Ayurvedic Healing Ritual starts with its
signature lotus-rose aromatherapy inhalation to bring peace to
the heart and mind. The unique and holistic treatment has
profound benefits and lasting effects.
“At some point or another, due to stress, poor lifestyle habits
and so on, imbalances set in and we move away from our
nature,” notes Gina Prezioza, vice president of sales and
marketing at Shankara Skincare. “One or more of the doshas
(governing principles) start to increase in the system and, as a
result, we experience discomfort. The aim of Ayurveda is to
bring back that balance.”
