Ayurveda DEFINED - it's ORIGIN

Ayurvedic Therapies

Different treatments and/or particular oils and herbs will be used for your unique set of circumstances. These therapies support natural healing, can release deep seated tension, soothe the nervous system, cleanse toxins and stimulate energy flow.

Abyangha Massage

Treatment is highly recommended by Ayurvedic doctors in order to promote overall health and well-being. Considered the mother of all massages for its rejuvenating effects. This is a gentle but firm warm oil massage (herbal oil is personalized to each client) during which 2 practitioners work in synchronized harmony to activate and gently awaken the entire body. Deeply relaxing as it detoxifies, strengthens & revitalizes the entire body. This anti-aging treatment beautifies the skin and promotes deep sleep. Improves lymph flow, calms the nervous system and stimulates the immune system. Abyangha means to move energy into the body whilst moving toxins towards the body's eliminatory systems.

Shirodhara

An intensely relaxing therapy where warm therapeutic oils, infused with herbal botanicals, are poured in a gentle stream (from a traditional copper vessel) continuously onto the center of the forehead, synchronizing brain waves to induce an almost hypnotic state. "Like having a deep and penetrating massage on the mind." The effect is indescribable. Includes a full-body synchronized massage (Abyanga) and head massage that nourishes the hair and scalp. Recommended for insomnia, stress, trauma, mental fatigue and depression. Induces deep and spontaneous states of meditation.

Nasya

The administration of medicated herbal oils through the nose is called Nasya. It specifically provides strength to head, nose and neck. It is used for sinusitis, colds, dry nasal passages, hoarseness of voice, facial paralysis, stuffy head, migraines and excess Kapha in the system. Opens the breathing channels. Indirectly it works on the whole body by improving the function of the endocrine glands. It has been said to prevent premature wrinkling, graying and falling of hair. Includes face, neck and shoulder massage as well as herbal steam.

Picchu-Vasti

Typically used on the lower lumbar, cervical area or knee. Warm anti-inflammatory herbal oils known as "nervine tonics" are contained and allowed to deeply penetrate into the disc area or joints, allowing for nourishment to the tissue and providing pain relief. Gentle massage and medicated steam may be used to the specified area.

Udvartanam

Known as "weight loss" massage. The whole body is massaged with specially blended herbal powders, including sandalwood. This powerful exfoliating treatment magically conditions skin while pushing stagnant lymphatic toxins out of the body. Mainly used to treat Kapha body types and reduce cellulite. Regular Udvartanam helps in removing excess weight by increasing the body's fat metabolism.

Matra Basti

This therapy is used mainly to treat Vata disorders. It is used to treat conditions like sciatica, low backache, insomnia, constipation, arthritis, vata headache, nervous disorder and neurological imbalances. This treatment uses medicated herbs in a warm sesame base administered in the form of an enema. Gives strength, promotes weight and helps eliminate waste products. Transporting ayurvedic medicine in this way effects the blood and tissues in order to transform the memory of damaged, toxic cells and also nourishes the bone tissue. As our Dr. describes it, "Like a tree being watered and nourished at its roots". Includes an abdominal massage with focus on marma points.

Podi Khizi

Used for relieving deep seated tension, increasing circulation, loosen toxins, strengthening muscle tissue and ridding the body of excess Kapha.
