- RELAXATION MASSAGE
We blend the tradition of Ayurveda with our unique method of oil application. In this combination therapy, a head-to-foot massage is done first, which is then followed by a hot bag compress over the spine region and then a steam bath. This therapy stimulates vital points and enhances the flow of energy in the individual. Relaxation massage will increase the circulation in the body parts, relieve aches and pain, balance the Vata energy factor, check fatigue, improve memory and eyesight, induce good sleep, improve complexion, and relax the mind.
- KIZHI
Here, hot compresses are used to massage the whole body. The ingredients of Kizhi (Herbal Bag) will vary according to the condition of the patient. Usually, fresh leaves, herbal powders, lemon, coconut, and rock salt are fried in Ayurvedic oils to prepare the hot compress. While doing the therapy, the hot bags will be dipped in the oil as prescribed by the doctor and will be rubbed all over the body. Kizhi will help in relieving any spasms and stiffness of muscles and reduce joint pain, especially backache.
- SIRODHARA
Siras means the head and Dhara means the continuous flow of liquids. Sirodhara is one of the popular therapies in Ayurveda, in which a steady stream of lukewarm liquids is poured on the forehead in a specific pattern and height. The medicated liquids can be oils, buttermilk, honey, a decoction, or even water. Dhara with Ayurvedic oils is very effective for a multitude of problems such as sleep disturbance, stress, anxiety, migraine, headaches, neurological problems, etc. When buttermilk is used, it’s very effective in treating hair fall and scalp disease, and other skin problems, especially Psoriasis.
- PIZHICHIL/KAYASEKAM
Pizhichil is another contribution to the science of healing by the Ayurvedic tradition. Here, the body fomentation is done by pouring lukewarm oils over the body parts at a specific height followed by a gentle hand massage. This therapy is very useful in treating general body weakness, nervous disorders, paralysis, arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, etc. The oil bath is also done on those who do not suffer from any specific ailment, as a revitalizing therapy.
- NJAVARAKIZHI
Njavarakizhi is a very unique therapy developed by Ayurvedic Vaidhyas. The first part of the treatment is a whole-body oil application with specific Ayurvedic oils, followed by a massage therapy with medicinal rice bags (Njavara rice) dipped in Sida decoction and milk. This treatment is indicated for conditions such as muscular wasting, stiffness of joints, arthritis, and paralysis. The Njavara rice has nourishing properties and is the best choice for the treatment of body emaciation.
- DHANYAMLA DHARA
The treatment protocol is the same as an oil bath, with the difference being, instead of oil, a fermented medicated liquid will be poured over the body, coupled with a gentle massage. The liquid used for the treatment is sharp and hot in potency, so this therapy is very useful for conditions like obesity, generalized edema, etc. It also checks aches and pain.
- UDHVARTHANAM
This therapy can be done with and without oil application on the body. If oil is applied, it’s called Udhvarthanam and if not, it is Udhgarshanam. A herbal powder is used to massage. This therapy helps in depleting fat, strengthening muscles, removing impurities, dead skin and cells, and stimulating circulation. Udhvarthanam is done as a preparatory therapy in a rejuvenating program.
- KADI/GREEVA VASTHY
