Ayurvedic Services

Derived from an ancient Indian tradition, these treatments are designed to help loosen toxins in the body and release excesses. The goal in all the treatments is to restore balance and establish calm and harmony. They are deeply cleansing and purifying to the mind, body, and soul.  The treatments have a rhythm and flow that covers the entire body.  Herbalized oils are used which target your individual imbalances.

Vigorous Herbal Oil Application and Steam Treatment  (Vishesh-Swedna) Vishesh is a rhythmic, vigorous 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.  You will then relax on the table while a light tent is placed over you with your head staying out.  Steam with special herbs is started and you are kept cool on the heart and pubic bone and cold cloths over the head.  This allows the vital organs to remain cool during the Swedna. You will relax for a few minutes at the close of the treatment. This combination is wonderful for loosening impurities and guiding them out of the body. The vigorous strokes get the circulation moving while the herbalized steam helps to soften the tissues allowing the toxins to then be sweated out.  The herbs used are cleansing to the blood and lymphatic system and are greatly rejuvenating.
