Ayurveda-inspired treatments

Based on 5,000 years of knowledge, ayurveda truly is "the science of life." This ancient practice begins by identifying the dosha, or energy force, that determines an individual's constitution: vata, pitta, kapha or a combination of the three. Personalised therapies based on a person's dosha enhance natural beauty and well-being, bringing balance to body, mind and spirit.

Discover the healing secrets of this Indian legacy through our ayurvedic selections. While at the Spa, spend some time with our resident ayurvedic physician to learn more about your individual dosha and ayurveda's life-enhancing philosophies.

All ayurvedic treatments begin with a herbal foot bath and conclude with a steam bath, which aids the detoxification process.

Uzhichil

This ancient massage technique uses warm herbal oil specific to your dosha type and a combination of invigorating and soothing strokes. This therapy helps to enhance general fitness, preserve youthfulness, relieve muscles, encourage sound sleep and ensure silky soft and toned skin.

Shirodhara

One of the most popular and effective ayurvedic treatments, shirodhara involves running a stream of warm oil on the third-eye chakra of the forehead. It has a balancing effect on the deepest recesses of the brain and can induce a blissful state of serenity and expanded consciousness. Shirodhara uses triphaladi coconut oil infused with three principle herbs to align and calm the mind, body and spirit. A series of treatments is recommended for maximum effect and benefit.

Prana bliss

Your expert therapist will guide you through a controlled yogic breathing technique that helps to channel the body's prana, or vital energy, along the spine, activating the prana flow paths. Two therapists then carry out a relaxing head and body massage using dosha-specific oils. Warm, herb-infused ayurvedic oil is then gently and steadily poured over the forehead in a continuous stream using a special rhythmic swaying movement, resulting in a sense of deep relaxation and inner peace.

Marma balance

This exotic and highly therapeutic ayurvedic massage, performed by two skilled therapists, stimulates the marmas, the body's vital pressure points. The ritual begins with a soothing head massage involving acupressure inspired by Kalari, a traditional Indian martial art, and moves onto a calming body massage. The massage is followed by pindasweda, the application of warm bundles of medicated herbs all over the body. This part of the treatment relaxes the muscles, lubricates the joints and releases toxins, bringing the marmas into a state of balance.
