Abhyanga is a beautiful Ayurvedic massage, devotedly given. This technique nurtures and
nourishes the entire body through means of deep oil penetration to the dermis.
A one-hour journey of Abhyanga takes you into a state of multi-layered relaxation as it nourishes the skin,
promoting cleansing and healing. Organic personalized oils infused with herbs specific to your doshic constitution
restores balance and union throughout the body.
Shirodhara A steady stream of warm herbal oil is amorously poured onto the forehead, nourishing the energies of
the sixth Chakra (the seat of intuition). This idyllic therapy induces a profound sense of peace and well being
in balancing the emotions, and calming the mind. Cranial massage is also given in completion of therapy rejuvenating
one's self on all levels.
Swedana is a full body herbal steam that follows Abhyanga and Shirodhara therapies. Hot steam infused with customized
herbs allows the oil to penetrate deep into the dhatus (tissues) as perspiration is released through the dermal layers.
This treatment facilitates in the release of deep-seated toxins. Moist steaming towels soaked with dashmool and peppermint
assist to further open the pores as the body receives the maximum benefits of the oil, providing deep detoxification
and rejuvenation to the tissues.

The Physiological Affects of Steam All heat inducing treatments, including steam, affect the hypothalamus,
the heat regulation mechanism of the body. The hypothalamus responds to any stimulus that increases or
decreases the body temperature, and acts to maintain homeostasis in the body. Any increase to the body's
metabolic rate burns calories, improves circulation and beautifies the skin. Swedana is not recommended
during pregnancy, for those with high blood pressure or for anyone who may be challenged with a serious
illness.
