Relaxation Therapies

Shirodhara -
50 min
Our most popular relaxation therapy, prior to your session of this classic and highly effective Ayurvedic treatment, your head is massaged as you take in deep cleansing breaths (aroma therapy is provided). Then, nourishing warm oil is poured in a continuous stream across your forehead (third eye) and through your head (crown chakra) for the rest of the duration. Among the many benefits you will experience are:

• enhanced blood circulation to your brain
• improved memory
• nourishment to your hair and scalp
• deep and sound sleep
• calm and peaceful mind and body
• during treatment, it is common to enter into a state of profound euphoria

Shirodhara is described time and time again as "the best spa experience" ever had by clients. Shirodhara is one of, if not the most, effective treatment available for the reduction of stress and nervous tension. Great for people who work under lots of stress and want instant, deep relaxation. Not only do the instantaneous results outweigh that of traditional massage by far, but the effects last days longer.

Abhyanga (Ayurvedic body massage) -
50 min
Very relaxing body massage using a warm body oil appropriate for your constitution at the time of your treatment. The skin is the largest organ of your body and whatever is topically applied gets absorbed directly inside the body, straight into your bloodstream. Ayurveda states "Oil is to the body as love is to the soul". Your body needs regular oleation to function properly and at ease. We regularly oleate our cars and other machines but then do not oleate our own body! This treatment is a great opportunity to provide your body what it so needs but rarely gets. The Abhyanga is followed by a hot towel treatment for the oil to absorb fully into your skin. You will feel rejuvenated and relaxed after this treatment.
