Why did Christell clinic start auruveda?

As a western medical practitioner we use the newest technologies and Medicines to treat a patient. But sometimes the root cause needs to be addressed in a more holistic way rather than just by popping pills. For example some patients come to me to treat acne which we successfully do. But if the root causes stress, rather than giving them Tablets for this we do Ayurvedic medical destress treatments, which would give a complete cure .

How will skin clinic Christell go hand in hand with auruvedic medicine?

Our goal is to make people beautiful INSIDE OUT through sustainable holistic medical wellness therapies. while we use the modern medical technologies and medicine to treat a certain condition , we will use the medical sciences of Ayurveda to amplify its benefits so we don’t use pills to solve every little thing.

All treatments from the Christell Luxury Ayurveda Wellness menu are carefully designed and overseen by the Christell Skin Clinic’s certified Ayurveda Medicine and Surgery specialists. Following an initial consultation to determine each client’s individual Prakthri (body constitution) and Dosha (body humours), a personalised treatment plant is also formulated, to be carried out a team of trained therapists.

In accordance our principles, female clients will be attended by clinic’s female therapists, and male clients by male therapists.
