The treatments have a rhythm and flow that covers the entire body. Herbalized oils are used which target your individual imbalances.

Following are the different treatments that you will learn in the two day program.

Ayurvedic Body Treatment
The Ayurvedic Body Treatment begins with a dry, silk glove exfoliation, followed by a warm herbalized oil application. You will rest shortly before your therapist applies a mask of purified and herbalized clays collected from deep in the earth in remote regions of India. This mask both nourishes and detoxifies leaving the skin smooth and silky.

Ayurvedic Energy Balancing (Marma)

This treatment focuses on opening and balancing energy flow according to the Indian energy system. Marma points, similar to acupressure points, are stimulated with herbal oils using circular motions.

Ayurvedic Facial

This treatment begins with warm ginger compresses and marma-point massage, supporting facial health, followed by a cleansing and relaxing facial that uses an herbal mask and special oils for your body type.

Ayurvedic Relaxation Treatment (Shirodhara)

This is a deeply relaxing treatment using warm herbalized oils poured in a gentle stream over the forehead. This procedure synchronizes brain waves and profoundly coordinates and calms the mind, body, and spirit. Shirodhara enhances blood circulation to the brain, improves memory, nourishes the hair, and scalp and generally aids in release of stress and tension.

Ayurvedic Sinus Treatment (Shiro-Abhyanga-Nasya)

This is a head, neck, and shoulder oil application, a facial lymphatic treatment, followed by deep inhalation of aromatic steam and herbalized nose drops (nasya). This treatment is designed to help clear impurities from the head area, opening the sinuses and stimulating the proper flow within the head and neck area. It works on all the senses and creates a wonderful opening and clearing of this area. This is a great treatment for those of us who are bombarded with pollutants, sensory stimulation, and for those who experience chronic head and neck problems including allergies, headaches, asthma, and eye troubles. It is also a wonderful treatment for those suffering from any problems of the neck and head regions. The 80-minute session includes a full body herbalized oil treatment that deeply relaxes the entire system.

Herbal Oil Treatment and Exfoliation (Abhyanga-Garshana)

This is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment, featuring a dry lymphatic skin brushing with a silk glove, followed by an individualized herbal oil treatment. The brushing (garshana) increases circulation, and cleans the skin so herbal oil treatment can penetrate deeply. The individually prepared herbal-oil application (abhyanga) nourishes the skin, aids in removing impurities, stimulates both arterial and lymphatic circulation, and relaxes the mind and body, promoting overall healing. This treatment enhances the ability of nutrients to reach starved cells and also removes stagnant waste. The desired result is a heightened state of awareness that will direct the internal healing system of the body.

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.

Vigorous Herbal Oil Treatment (Vishesh)

A vigorous, rhythmic treatment using herbalized oils specific to your current imbalances. This treatment breaks up adhesions, stimulates lymphatic flow, and guides impurities out of the body. When certain channels are blocked then neither awareness nor blood can access deeply seated tissues. For certain body types and imbalances, this is an essential therapeutic approach.

Herbal Oil Application and Relaxation Treatment (Abhyanga-Shirodhara)

This individually prepared herbal-oil application (abhyanga) nourishes the skin, aids in removing impurities, stimulates both arterial and lymphatic circulation and relaxes the mind and body, promoting overall healing. This treatment enhances the ability of nutrients to reach starved cells and also removes stagnant waste. It is followed by a deeply relaxing treatment using warm herbalized oils poured in a gentle stream over the forehead. This procedure synchronizes brain waves and profoundly coordinates and calms the mind, body, and spirit. Shirodhara enhances blood circulation to the brain, improves memory, nourishes the hair and scalp, and generally aids in release of stress and tension.

Herbal Oil Application and Steam Treatment (Abhyanga-Swedna)

The individually prepared herbal-oil application (abhyanga) nourishes the skin, aids in removing impurities, stimulates both arterial and lymphatic circulation, and relaxes the mind and body, promoting overall healing. This treatment enhances the ability of nutrients to reach starved cells and also removes stagnant waste. You will relax on the massage table after your oil treatment while a light tent is placed over you with your head staying out. Steam with special herbs is started and you are kept cool with ice in a dry cloth placed on the heart and pubic bone and cold cloths over the head. This allows the vital organs to remain cool during the Swedna.
