Treatment Descriptions
Pinda Sweda (localized steam treatment) - a therapeutic treatment designed to deeply purify and soothe the body area of your choice. Warm oil massage prepares the region for receiving treatment. A medicinal bundle of specially prepared rice and herbs soaked in warm saffron milk and coconut are applied to the affected area penetrating the tissue and bringing relief. An ideal therapy for painful joints or muscle aches and tension. This deeply beautifying treatment was once reserved for royalty in ancient India.
Heart (Hrid) Basti - 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.
Udvartana - a traditional Ayurvedic therapeutic body massage that uses herbal powders (or pastes) to exfoliate the skin, reduce cellulite, and promote weight loss through vigorous upward strokes. It stimulates blood circulation, breaks down fat under the skin, and strengthens muscles. This treatment balances Kapha dosha, reduces fat, and detoxifies the body.
Abhyanga (therapeutic oil massage) - an ancient Ayurvedic massage technique which incorporates warm herb-infused oils 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.
Shirodhara - a traditional Ayurvedic therapy involving a steady, rhythmic stream of warm, herb-infused oil poured onto the forehead—specifically the "third eye" area—to induce deep relaxation, mental clarity, and nervous system balance. It is used to relieve stress, anxiety, and insomnia, often described as "bliss therapy"
