KERALA AYURVEDIC MASSAGE
Dosha Specific Oil Massage and Warm Stones with Hot Towels or Steam (Abhyanga-Swedna with Hot Towels or Steamy Wonder Tent) Dosha specific oil massage (abhyanga) nourishes the skin, aids in removing impurities, stimulates both arterial and lymphatic circulation, and relaxes the mind and body, promoting overall healing. Therapeutic warm stones relax the body at its deepest level using the energies of warm volcanic stones. This ancient Ayurvedic therapy moves energy to tired areas, relieves sore muscles and creates a soothing relaxation response of peace and serenity. After your oil and stone treatment, hot towel compresses are applied or a light steam tent is placed over you with your head staying out. During the Steam, you are kept cool with a cool cloth around your neck; this allows the vital organs to remain cool during the Swedna. Moist Heat is used to bring the oils deep in the muscles. You will relax for a few minutes at the close of the treatment. 75-minutes $90
Add one of the following choices to the Dosha Specific Full-Body Oil Massage for an additional $20:
Dry Lymphatic Skin Brushing (Garshana) This is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment, featuring a dry lymphatic skin brushing with cotton gloves, followed by a dosha specific oil treatment. The brushing (garshana) increases circulation, and cleans the skin so the dosha specific oil treatment can penetrate deeply.
Reflexology (Marma) This treatment focuses on opening and balancing the energy flow according to the Indian meridian system stimulating certain points on the body where the physical and energy bodies meet. Marma points are similar to acupressure points. Dosha specific oils are used with circular motions on dosha specific marma points. You will feel balanced and renewed.
Skin and Lymphatic Detox (Udvartina)- Udvartina is a deeply penetrating herbal paste lymphatic treatment. You will be scrubbed with the paste on all sides of your body. This treatment is exfoliating and conditioning to the skin as well as a deeply cleansing treatment which presses stagnant lymphatic toxins out of the body. A hot towel is used to wipe off excess paste at the end of the tent session, you will need to go straight home to shower to rinse off the remaining paste.
Vigorous, Rhythmic Treatment (Vishesh) This treatment breaks up adhesions, stimulates lymphatic flow, and guides impurities out of the body. This technique separates fat from muscle tissue. You will relax for a few minutes at the close of the treatment. For Kapha body types and imbalances, this is an essential therapeutic approach; the steam combination is wonderful for loosening impurities and guiding them out of the body. The vigorous strokes get the circulation moving while the steam helps to soften the tissues allowing the toxins to then be sweated out.
