Shirodhara Warm Oil Treatment
This sublime therapy targets the cerebral system, relaxing the nervous system and balancing the "dosha." Treatment begins with a short head massage, followed by a continuous stream of warm oil poured on the forehead (third eye), and finished with a gentle scalp massage. This treatment creates a sense of deep relaxation and inner peace, often only achieved through meditation. This technique is effective in treating symptoms such as insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, hair loss, high blood pressure, and fatigue. It helps synchronize brain waves, thus calming the mind, body, and spirit. Shirodhara also enhances blood circulation to the brain, improves memory, nourishes the hair and scalp, and aids in the release of stress and tension. Traditionally given 7 days in a row for optimal results, an effective compromise is to receive this treatment once a week until the desired effect is achieved, ideally 7 treatments. The treatment includes 2 to 3 cups of Shirodhara oil, which is sent home with the client for massage at home. 90 minutes $150 First treatment $100 second treatment Pairing this treatment with a full-body massage is a wonderful gift to yourself! |
AYurvedic Sinus Treatment (Nasya)
The nose is the doorway to both our brain and our consciousness. This treatment is designed to clear the sinuses and allow proper blood flow in the head and neck area. It addresses all of the senses and creates a powerful opening and sense of clearing. This treatment begins with a head, neck, and shoulder massage, followed by a facial massage with an emphasis on the sinus points. After a herbal steam inhalation, herbal nose drops (nasya) are used. Nasya is one of the five principle purification methods in Ayurveda. This treatment is ideal for those with chronic sinusitis, congestion, allergies, headaches, asthma, eye troubles, and problems of the neck and head regions. It is a great treatment to incorporate in the Spring for a "fresh start" after a sluggish winter.
