This is a very popular therapy amongst people who complain  about back pain, stiffness, and other back concerns related to spinal disc problems. This treatment considerably increases the circulation in the region, as the medicated oil gets deeply absorbed into the skin, and both nourishes and strengthens the muscles and nerves. Medicated herbal oil is applied on the back, and the local Marma points are energized.  Then a dam made of flour and herbs is placed on the lower back and warm oil is gently poured into it.

This is an oleation therapy which pours warm oil on the body to help promote the lymphatic system.  The oils are custom prepared for the individual depending upon his or her doshic constitution The main function of the lymphatic system is to remove toxins from the body, and to carry nutrients to the cells.  It is spread throughout the body, except in the brain, bone marrow and deep skeletal muscles. This type of oleation therapy also helps to prevent physiological wear and tear as the oil lubricates and protects the tissues from loosened aama (toxins) while they are being discharged.

This is similar to Shirodhara but buttermilk is poured onto the forehead, instead of herbal oil.  It is a favorite therapy for people who complain of migraines and other specific Pitta disorders, where cooling and refreshing therapies are recommended.

A very soothing and nourishing therapy for the whole eye.  People often comment how it relieves  tension in the eye muscles.  Netra Basti is also popular amongst people who wish to remove dark circles under the eyes, and who wish to rejuvenate dry, puffy eyes. The Marma points around the eyes are stimulated by the gentle pressure and herbal oils.  This increases the circulation of blood and praana (life force) around the area, and helps increase the absorption of the herbs. A dam or well made of lentils and herbs is placed around each eye.  Then medicated, organic ghee is slowly and gently poured into the eyes until the eyelashes are fully covered.  The eyes are effectively bathed and washed with dosha-specific oil/ghee for a time period specifically set to your doshic constitution.   The oil/ghee also works to condition and strengthen the eyelashes as well.

Chakras acts as relay centers for the endocrine system.  They handle reception, assimilation and transmission of life energies within your body.  Chakras are made of symbolic patterns from our own mental and physical programming.  By harmonizing Chakra energy fields, a positive alteration of consciousness takes place.  Once having gained this new consciousness, one is eased into meditation thus finding inner calmness, and more productivity with everyday life and chores.  During our Chakra Alignment session, Chakra energy is harmonized by incorporating other therapies such as aromatherapy, color therapy, and sound therapy.  This integration of therapies makes for a very effective session.

Long ago developed by Ayurvedic Acharyas (scholars) for the Royalty of India, Panchakarma is a unique series of five Ayurvedic cleansing and strengthening treatments all performed together to rejuvenate the body and the mind. These three hour therapies are customized and formulated specifically for each individual, depending on their doshic status and overall body strength.  The therapies typically include: Marma/ Abyanga, Udvarthana, Swedana, Nasya/ Netra Basti and Shirodhara. Before initiating and during the Panchakarma procedure, one must follow a simple prescribed dietary regimen to maximize the many benefits of the treatments. Today Panchakrama has become the most common practice in Ayurveda, known for it’s ability to detoxify and relax the physical body, thereby enhancing awareness of the mind. Panchakarma is typically done once or twice annually.  Commonly used as a preventative measure, it is often relied upon to rid the body of toxins, and to allow oneself the opportunity to break poor dietary and other habits.  This ensures a fresh start to healthy living.

Unique foot reflexology incorporating the Marma points of the feet.

The Nasya treatment offers natural relief from the harsh winter elements, congestion, and allergies. This is especially popular as the cold and dry weather sets in, or as spring and fall allergies become bothersome.  The dry heat in our homes combined with the runny noses from the cold outdoor air leave our sinuses tender and raw.  Nasya is very popular amongst people who seek to soothe these sensitive areas, and seek to protect themselves from the congestion, allergies and soreness which are attributed to the harsh winter elements. According to Ayurveda, our noses are considered the doorways to the brain and consciousness.  Just as our Praana or life energy enters the body through our noses, using the nose to introduce herbal remedies can be most effective. Different herbal oils are used according to your doshic balance. No chemicals, no side effects, all natural.

A seemingly subtle yet remarkably powerful therapy.  The term Shirodhara is derived from two Sanskrit words; shiro- meaning “head”, and dhara which is “flow”.  It is often referred to as the “massage of the soul”. Shirodhara is typically administered with complaints of stress.  People with high blood pressure, insomnia, tension headaches, anxiety and fatigue have long enjoyed the benefits of this wonderful and relaxing therapy. Warm, medicated oil is dripped from a copper vessel, (or “dhaaraa paathram”), directly onto the center of the forehead from a specific distance.  This effects two different Chakras: Ajna or “third eye”, and Sahasrara- which controls the whole nervous system.  Natural chemicals/hormones such as seratonin are released, which promotes feelings of pleasure and deep relaxation. The continuous rhythm and pressure created by the flow, combined with the warmth of the heated oil awakens the cognitive vision and wisdom of the third eye, leaving you with the sense of wellness and rejuvenation.
