Traditional Abhyanga
- This is not a massage. This treatment is a deeply healing, dosha-balancing application of herbal medicated oils onto the entire body. It works with prana (life force) and results in the opening and cleansing of the srotas (body channels). As the body absorbs the oil, healing is brought to each cell of the body, the vagus nerve and clarity occurs in the mind. The goal of this treatment is to balance the doshas, hence ensuring that disease does not enter the body and that we move away from the causes of our suffering. Organic and authentic handmade dosha balancing oils are chosen based on your Doshic makeup. Included in this treatment is a full body Svedana, Nasyum Treatment (see description below), and a shower with special Ayurvedic cleansing soap to clear toxins that are released during the Abhyanga.
- An authentic Ayurvedic full body Svedana is an herbal steam consisting of the application of medicated oils and heat. The body is comfortably placed in a traditional Svedana wooden box with the head kept outside. Svedana is performed after an Abhyanga treatment to allow the oils to move deeper into the body and any toxins in the body to be released.
Svedana (Localized Application)
- This localized application assists the body in healing any injury of the muscle, ligament, joint, or bone. Deeply healing treatment for both current and past injuries. In this treatment medicated oils, herbs and heat are used to shift the out-of-balance Vata within the body, which in turn instigates the body to heal itself.
Nasyum
- Nasyum is the application of medicated oils for any head, nose, or sinus issue. A very deeply healing treatment, it boosts the immune system and specifically assists with asthma, colds, flu and latent bacteria in the mucus membranes. Nasyum improves eyesight, hearing, chronic congestion, tinnitus, and allergies. It helps shift any imbalances in the head, nose, and sinus areas, These treatments also help clear the third eye (pineal gland) and bring clarity to the mind.
Basti
- The external or internal application of heated oils onto the body in a specific area of injury. The warm oil is allowed to sit for a determined length of time while being deeply absorbed by the body. Basti, being both Vata and Pitta balancing, assists with injuries of the back, neck and knees.
Shirodhara
- Warm oil gently flows continuously across the forehead while directly and immediately calming, relaxing, and cleansing the mind and nerves. The body is deeply settled and the protective nervous system is calmed. In this deep stillness, the nervous system releases any stress or strain that inhibits the flow of stillness into every cell of the body. A balancing treatment for Vata related issues. Very beneficial for imbalances of the mind, including stress, anxiety, depression, head trauma and many other psychosomatic issues *These treatments are only offered at certain times of the year.
