Ayurveda
Each individual has its own unique balance of three subtle energies (Doshas): Wind (Vata), Bile (Pitta), Mucus (Kapha). These Doshas are responsible for regulating the functions in the mind-body system and are created by interaction of the Ayurvedic five elements: Air and Space forming the Vata nature; Fire and Water forming Pitta nature; and Water and Earth forming Kapha nature. All these energies need to be in harmony to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well being.
Shirodhara Treatment (90 Mins)
Shirodhara is considered one of the most powerful Ayurvedic treatments available. It all starts with an invigorating full body massage to balance the energies using warm Ayurvedic Herbal Oil, where a stream of specially enriched oil is continuously poured on the forehead (also known as the third eye). It has a reflex balancing effect on the deepest recesses of the brain and induces a blissful state of mind and expanded awareness. This treatment is highly effective if continued for three sessions.
Marma Massage (60 Mins)
A Marma is a junction of ligaments, vessels, muscles, bones, and joints. The Therapist uses his/her hands and feet to apply a special oil enriched with Ayurvedic herbs and roots to stimulate the Marma points on your body through skillful massage techniques with the help of an extended rope for support. A mind, body and spirit experience with the power to induce an amazing sense of inner well being.
Dosha Massage (60 Mins)
Just as Western medicine believes that there are three body types, so do Ayurvedic practitioners: Wind (Vata), Bile (Pitta), and Mucus (Kapha). Together these energies regulate the functions in the mind-body system. Dosha massage, also known as “Abhyanga” in India, is performed with warm herbal oils infused with Ayurvedic herbs.
Indian Head Massage (35 Mins)
An invigorating massage which directly affects your muscles, nerves, and mind. Marma points located on the head, neck, and shoulder are stimulated while you are comfortably seated.

Njavarakizhi (60 Mins)
An ancient ritual from India used to purify and strengthen your body. Warm Ayurvedic Njavara rice poultices cooked in milk decoction are applied over your body to balance individual Doshas after a gentle body massage. Njavarakizhi can help alleviate joint pain, rheumatism, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Podikkizhi (60 Mins)
