Massage Treatments & Spa

Ayurvedic

An ayurvedic massage is one part of the traditional detoxification and rejuvenation program of India called panchakarma, in which the entire body is vigorously massaged with large amounts of warm oil and herbs to remove toxins from the system.

With the client’s permission, oil is also poured into the ears, between the eyebrows and at specific chakras, or energy points, during techniques known respectively as karna purana, shirodhara, and marma chikitsa. These treatments have been modified to meet the needs of the West and have been powerful in their effects upon the mind and nervous system — calming, balancing, and bringing both a heightened sense of awareness and deep inner peace.

The techniques can be done either as stand-alone treatments or in conjunction with the ayurvedic body massage.
