Three Layers of Bliss | Abhyanga, Shirodhara & Swedana
This three-part treatment is for those looking to deeply relax, rebalance, and rejuvenate mind, body & spirit. The treatment begins with an hour-long Ayurvedic warm oil massage, Abhyanga, designed to increase the longevity of the body, stimulate the organs & lymphatic circulation, nourish the skin, relax the mind, and remove stagnant waste (ama) from the body. The oils used for this massage are individually prepared herb-infused, oil remedies which are carefully chosen in accordance to one’s specific body constitution. Next is an individualized herbal steam bath, Swedana. This is a unique treatment where the head is kept cool during the steam bath while the body is heated to move impurities found deep within the tissues. The process opens the tissues of the body with heat saturation and oil. When the tissues open, toxins or ama, deep-seated in the body, can be expelled out of the skin. This helps reduce inflammation, promotes healing, and improves blood circulation and restoration.
The treatment concludes with Shirodhara, a traditional Ayurvedic treatment where warm oil is poured slowly in a continuous stream on the forehead. Profoundly relaxing and rejuvenating, Shirodhara magnifies the senses, disperses negative electrical impulses that accumulate because of stress, reverses imbalances within the body, synchronizes brain waves and deeply calms the nervous system. As most Ayurveda therapies have their impact on the physical and energy sheaths of the subtle body system, Shirodhara most effectively purifies the mental sheath, promoting a calm and balanced state of the mind. Individually specialized Aroma Therapy and Marma Point Therapy are also integrated into this trio of treatments for more effective relaxation, balance & vitality. 150 minutes, $225
