Helps to improve the energy flow throughout the channels and helps flush out toxins that accumulate during day to day activities, which wear away at us both physically and mentally. This massage helps to improve the lymphatic and circulatory system thus improving our immune system. Both rejuvenating and detoxifying this massage is tailored to your specific constitution and season.

Shirodhara is considered a therapeutic and rejuvenating Ayurvedic treatment for stabilizing the state of mind and body, bringing them into harmony, Shirodhara works on a physical, mental and emotional level.

A warm soothing and continuous flow of medicated oil is poured over the 3rd eye area for 30 minutes giving one the feeling of being in a deep state of relaxation, a meditative state of complete peace.

The use of the warm medicated oil and the area it is poured has a direct calming effect on the nervous system helping to restore its balance.

After the flow of oil a head massage is given and specific marma points are worked to help further balance the senses.
