Lillya brings holistic Ayurvedic treatments to Morocco

The traditional Indian medicine of Ayurvda is popular around the world, from Europe to the Americas. Now two sisters have opened Morocco’s first 100% Ayurvedic centre. My Chic Africa checked it out.

The story starts in Casablanca with Moroccan expat Sanae, a long-time sufferer of fibromyalgia, a little-understood condition that causes pain all over the body. Before discovering Ayurvda she was in a state of chronic discomfort and thought she would never recover. Today sitting in Lillya’s waiting area next to her sister Bahia, she has a smile on her face as she recounts the epic journey that led to her to opening her country’s first ever Ayurvedic centre.

A way to listen to your body

Today Lillya offers healing, consultations, therapeutic massages and beauty treatments. “Ayurveda is the science of life. It allows you to get to know yourself, to listen to and respect your body“, insists Bahia. As every person is unique, the sisters offer individual consultations with an Indian Ayurvedic doctor before each treatment. “This way we personalise the experience, especially the oils. Our qualified therapists work together with the doctors to offer the most appropriate care”, adds Sanae, who stills lives in Dubai. She also hired the Ayurvedic doctor who treated her in the Gulf. Another consultant is there to advise on adapting the treatments to Morocco, where the climate and food are different from those in India.

It’s all about balancing energy

Because the natural oils used are tailored to individual patients, every one of Lillya’s massages are customised. But all have the same aim: to stimulate the lymphatic system, release nutrients into the body and evacuate toxins. Whether you use Abhyangam, Nasya, Vasthy, Pichu or Tharpanam techniques, they regenerate the body, slow down ageing, stimulate sleep, improve the complexion, and strengthen and improve health. “We treat the cause not the symptoms,” says Sanae.
