The Siddha Body Detoxification Wrap

The basic theories of Siddha Vaidya advises each individual on the correct way of living, eating, meditating, exercising and use of massage and herbal treatments for their own well-being. From detoxification comes efficient body function, more youthful appearance and longer life. The Siddha Body Detoxification Body Wrap is a rejuvenation treatment which originated in Southern India.
