- AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS
- Abhyanga
- Ayurveda recommends a massage with warm herbal oils as a part of daily life. In Abhyanga – “to anoint” – specific oils are chosen for the head and body, according to body type. Two therapists perform the massage simultaneously, then a soothing steam follows, helping the skin absorb the herbal oils.

- Udvartana
- Udvartana means “to elevate” or “to promote.” The name is said to be derived from the upward strokes used in the massage. The treatment is performed by two therapists simultaneously applying specially selected herbal powders to the skin. This gentle exfoliating body scrub is followed by a soothing body massage and a comforting steam.

- Shirodhara
- This unique ayurvedic treatment is always done in conjunction with a body massage. After the massage, warm herbal oil is gently and steadily poured on the forehead. The pouring of oil is accompanied by a tender scalp massage. Shirodhara is performed in absolute silence.

- For Elakkizhi – “a poultice of leaves” – various medicinal leaves, herbal powders and spices are cooked in herbal oils and packed in bundles.

Next, the warm rice poultices are applied to the skin by two therapists.
