Nasya
Nasya is an Ayurvedic treatment that involves administering medicated oils, powders, or herbal liquids through the nasal passages. This therapy is used to cleanse and balance the head and neck region, alleviating conditions like sinus congestion, headaches, migraines, and respiratory issues. It also helps in improving mental clarity and sleep quality. Nasya is considered effective for Kapha and Vata imbalances, promoting detoxification and revitalization of the senses. Regular Nasya treatments can enhance respiratory health and overall well-being.
Abhyanga
Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic massage therapy that involves the rhythmic application of warm, medicated oils over the entire body. This deeply nourishing treatment helps balance the body's doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), promoting relaxation, detoxification, and improved circulation. Abhyanga enhances skin health, strengthens the immune system, and reduces stress and tension by calming the nervous system. The practice is typically followed by a warm bath or steam, allowing the oils to penetrate deeper into the tissues, leaving the body rejuvenated.
Shirodhara
Shirodhara is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment where warm herbal oil is gently poured over the forehead, specifically targeting the "third eye" area. This therapy is designed to calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote mental clarity. It is highly effective for treating anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and other nervous system disorders. The rhythmic flow of oil induces deep relaxation and balances the body’s doshas (energies), particularly Vata and Pitta, bringing harmony to both mind and body.
Elakizhi
Elakizhi is a therapeutic treatment in Ayurveda involving the use of herbal poultices made of medicinal leaves, which are heated and applied to the body with warm herbal oils. This rejuvenating therapy helps alleviate muscle stiffness, joint pain, and inflammation, promoting relaxation and improving blood circulation. Elakizhi is commonly used for conditions like arthritis, spondylitis, and back pain. It also helps relieve stress and detoxify the body, making it a holistic approach to overall wellness and healing.
NJAVARA KIZHI
Njavara Kizhi is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that uses special medicinal rice called Njavara. The rice is cooked, mixed with herbal decoctions and milk, and tied in boluses made from cloth. These warm boluses are gently massaged over the body to nourish the skin, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation. This treatment is beneficial for joint pain, arthritis, neurological disorders, and muscle stiffness. Njavara Kizhi also promotes overall rejuvenation, enhances strength, and helps in restoring balance in the body’s doshas.
PIZHICHIL
Pizhichil is a rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy where warm, medicated oil is poured continuously over the body in a rhythmic manner. Combining both oil and heat treatments, it is known for enhancing blood circulation, soothing muscles, and relieving pain. The treatment typically lasts for 60 to 90 minutes and is administered by trained therapists. Pizhichil is particularly effective in treating ailments like arthritis, nervous disorders, and chronic fatigue, promoting overall relaxation and improving physical and mental well-being.
