Harvesting Herbs for Ayurvedic Treatments

It’s the season for harvesting bags of herbs for Ayurvedic treatments. The traditional Ayurvedic healing massage called Potli (or potali) with compresses of dried or fresh herbs and spices is used to revitalize the body, acting as a cleanser of the blood, lymph and skin.

The massage can be used as a standalone body treatment or integrated into Kerala massage, which Shanti College teaches to its students, the future Massage Therapists.

A new class in French is currently being recruited for September 2023.

There are 400 hours in the programme and more can be booked up to 1000 hours of training. All graduates can become members of the Massage Therapy Association and give their clients a receipt for the treatments. Shanti College is always ranked among the first and most progressive schools for adults.
