Treatments
These treatments are available to our patients during panchakarma retreats or on an outpatient basis:
Abhyanga:
Full body massage using generous amounts of warm, herbal infused oils selected for your particular constitution and condition. Invigorating and revitalising abhyanga massage stimulates the marma points and thus helps clear stagnation by increasing the flow of energy. Abhyanga is the best treatment to reduce vata in the nervous system.
£62 (75 mins)
Swedana:
Full body steam bath using only the purest distilled water in our state of the art 'Hyperthermic Chamber'. The chamber has thermostatic control to maintain exactly the right temperature and as the head remains outside, the treatment is as comfortable as possible. Swedana opens the micro channels in the body, liquidises toxins and mobilises them to move out of the body. An excellent detoxification treatment which improves circulation and reduces vata.
£25 (up to 20 mins)
Shirodhara:
Pouring of a continuous stream of warm, medicated oil on the forehead. This treatment is excellent to pacify the symptoms of stress as it reduces cortisol and other stress hormones present in the body.
