Abhyanga (Ayurvedic warm oil massage)
Full body ayurvedic massage that stimulates marma points, relaxes muscles,
nourishes the skin and other tissues layers. It is deeply relaxing,
harmonizes, detoxifies, strengthens and rejuvenates the entire body.
Abhyanga simultaneously revitalizes while it calms and strengthens the
nervous system.
Warm, herbalized oil is gently, with flowing movements, massaged into the skin. Rhythmic, soothing stokes are used to move the underlying toxins in the tissue layers back to the digestive tract from where they can be eliminated.
Abhyanga is typically followed by Swedana (steam treatment) to further stimulate detoxification of the cells and pores through sweating.
Facial Ayurveda Style
A pleasing
and therapeutic facial combines grains herbs and aromatic essential
oils to balance each unique skin type. A deep, nourishing treatment that helps
maintain the elasticity of the skin layers. The face and neck are gently
cleansed and moisturized through massaging ayurvedic herbs and essential
oils on the face and neck. Specific skin imbalances are treated. This
treatment smoothes away facial tension, brings about a deep relaxation,
and leaves you glowing.
Facial Marma Therapy
Vital energy points are located throughout face and awaken with the
therapeutic touch of transdermal creams and essential oils. Marmas
are anointed with organic therapeutic grade aromatic oils, specific
to each location and condition. As concentrated centers of energy, marma
points respond to essential oils which penetrate easily and deeply,
affecting the entire body-mind.
Garshan (invigorating silk glove massage)
The Garshan massage is ideally suited to Kapha dosha types. During this
stimulating massage, silk gloves are worn creating friction on the surface
of the skin. The friction increases blood circulation, helps to oxygenate
the cells and stimulates the removal of accumulated toxins. Benefits
of garshan include: promotes weight loss, clears away clogging impurities,
improves skin tone, and reduces sluggishness.
Garshan is followed by abhyanga (warm oil massage) and then by swedana
(steam treatment) to further stimulate detoxification of the cells and
pores through sweating.
Karana Purana (cleansing
and rejuvenating ear treatments)
Karna purana is the process in which warm, herbalized oil or medicated
liquid is gently, slowly poured into the ears. This lubricates the delicate
filaments of the ear canal which sharpens hearing and removes impurities.
Karna purana creates a deep stillness.
Kavalgraha and Gandusha (treatment for awakening the senses)
Herbalized gargles are used
to draw out excess dosha through the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. While
listening to relaxing music, sitting upright, the mind is cleared of
stressful thoughts. Gargling positively stimulates and soothes the sense
organs, freshens the breath and invigorates the mind. Conditions:
bad breath, dry face, dull senses, exhaustion, anorexia, loss of taste,
impaired vision, sore throat, and all kapha related imbalances.

Marma Therapy

the therapeutic touch of transdermal creams and essential oils.
Marmas are anointed with organic therapeutic grade aromatic oils, specific
to each location and condition. As concentrated centers of energy, marma
points respond to essential oils which penetrate easily and deeply,
affecting the entire body-mind.
Nasya
(nasal /sinus treatments)

massaged opening the channels and dislodging congestion and loosening

into the scalp, stimulating hair growth and making hair strong and luxurious.

Shirodhara (~30 minute warm oil stream forehead)
This icon of ayurvedic treatments soothes and invigorates the senses
and the mind. A deep state of relaxation occurs as stress melts away
and a profound meditative state is experienced.
Warm, herbalized oil is streamed onto the forehead. The soothing oil streams directly onto the ajna chakra (third eye, the point between the eyebrows) and the entire forehead. The oil stream awakens the third eye and it is transformative.
The preliminary treatment of
abhyanga is highly recommended.
Surya Chikitsa 
(color therapy for home, office, self)
Specific colors have healing properties related to certain areas of
physiology and emotional well-being. Since ancient times, the science
of light and the physics of colors have been intuitively understood.
Today, we have the research to support what has always been clear to
human kind—color is therapeutic. By learning what colors bring balance,
we can balance ourselves through simple applications of color. Who benefits
from a white rose and its aroma on their desk at work, might you? What
color is optimal for your dining room? What color palette is best for
your wardrobe? There are endless applications to this simple yet profound
treatment modality.
Swedana (herbal steam)
While enjoying the steam therapy, the body is touched by herbal
steam; while a cool damp cloth is placed on the back of the neck and
forehead keep the head cool. The practitioner gently mists the face
with organic rose water. This produces a release of endorphins resulting
in a relaxed and invigorated state of being.
The herbs in the steam assist in toxin removal, soften muscles, and support healthy circulation. Room temperature cooling teas, such as rose-mint or hibiscus will be sipped to rehydrate and cool the body.
