Abhyanga (synchronized therapeutic oil massage) is an ancient Ayurvedic massage technique is performed by a synchronized team of two therapists. Herb-infused oils are prepared specifically for your physical and mental constitution. Abhyanga draws out impurities and improves immunity by increasing lymphatic circulation. Your body and mind experience stillness and deep peace during this treatment. Please be prepared to shower and dry your hair after this treatment.

Shirodhara (therapeutic oiling of head & scalp) is a profoundly relaxing treatment of warm oil poured slowly in a continuous stream across the forehead. Includes a face and scalp massage, as well as a nasya (oil for the nasal passages) and a brief application of warm medicated oils to the entire body. Shirodhara calms the central nervous system, synchronizes brain waves and promotes a sense of deep peace. When the nervous system is calm, healing takes place. Please be prepared to shower and dry your hair after this treatment.

Nasya (sinus therapy) is a thoroughly relaxing head, face, neck and shoulder treatment designed to open the upper body channels (srotas) and encourage lymphatic flow. Nasya clears the sinuses, enlivens your senses and relieves tension and congestion. This cleansing therapy is indicated for headaches and allergies, and problems of the neck and head region. Includes marma (acupressure) therapy, herbal steam treatments, and oil drops medicated with either ginger and jaggery or eucalyptus, rose and camphor for the nasal passages. Please be prepared to shower and dry your hair after this treatment.

Marma Chikitsa (acupressure energy points) is a calming and balancing Ayurvedic oil massage which incorporates marma point (pressure points) , and enhanced by medicated herbal oils and essential oils blended for your constitution. By stimulating the marma points we open energetic and physical blocks caused by inadequate circulation, stress, and improper diet. This treatment will improve your body-mind connection, leaving you feeling centered and grounded. Please be prepared to shower and dry your hair after this treatment.

Swedana (herbal steam treatment) is a full-body herbal steam treatment given in a specialized steam cabinet which allows the head to remain cool. Moist heat and essential oils encourage the mobilization of impurities/toxins (ama) throughout the body for elimination through the sweat glands. We offer this as an enhancement (add-on) to any massage treatment.

Pinda Sweda (localized steam treatment) is a therapeutic treatment designed to deeply purify and soothe the body area of your choice. Warm oil massage and Marma Chikitsa prepare the region for receiving treatment. A medicinal bundle of specially prepared rice and herbs are applied to the affected area penetrating the tissue and bringing relief. An ideal therapy for painful joints or muscle aches and tension. Pinda Sweda is most effective when repeated over the course of several days.

Kati Basti (therapeutic treatment for the spine) is a restorative treatment to soothe the lumbosacral region, indicated for low back pain, slipped discs, sciatica and arthritis affecting the spine. Your treatment begins with Marma Chikitsa (gentle pressure point massage), followed by Basti application (an organic whole wheat flour dough dam which creates a reservoir and is placed over the affected area). Warm medicated oils are poured inside the reservoir, concentrating the healing benefits of the oil where you need it most. The oils penetrate the tissues deeply, bathing the affected vertebrae, nerves and muscles.

Netra Basti (therapeutic treatment for the eyes) is a soothing treatment is ideal for many eye conditions, and for calming and balancing the mind. The eyes are intimately connected to the brain and nervous system. We make a reservoir from organic whole wheat flour and place it around the eye. Warm ghee (clarified butter) is then gently poured inside, bathing the eye and surrounding tissues. We treat one eye at a time, so this treatment must be scheduled on two consecutive days.

Hrid Basti (therapeutic treatment for the heart) is similar to the other basti treatments, a whole wheat flour dam is placed over the heart chakra and filled with nourishing herbal oil. This subtle yet profound therapy creates a sense of peace while it strengthens the heart muscle, regulates and supports heart function and releases old wounds, sadness and emotional grief. It is a powerful treatment which removes stagnant energy or blockages from the area allowing pure love to flow.
