Abhyanga
Full-body synchronised massage by two therapists with warm medicated oil, followed by steam. Loosens deep-seated toxins and settles Vata. The base layer of every programme we run.

Therapies we perform
Every therapy below is done by trained therapists on a wooden droni, with oil warmed to temperature and medicated for your dosha. Not one of them is booked without a consultation first.
Oil therapies
Snehana — the oil work
Shirodhara
A continuous thread of warm oil poured across the forehead for 30 to 40 minutes. Our most requested therapy — for insomnia, anxiety, migraine and the kind of mental noise that will not switch off.
Kati Basti
A dough ring built on the lower back and filled with warm medicated oil, held for 30 minutes. Direct, local relief for disc pain, lumbar stiffness and sciatica.
Janu & Greeva Basti
The same oil-pooling technique over the knees or the neck. Used through the winter months for osteoarthritis and cervical spondylosis.
Shiro Basti
A leather cap fitted to the head and filled with warm oil. Reserved for long-standing headache, facial palsy, insomnia and hair fall that has not responded to anything else.
Netra Tarpana
Medicated ghee held over the closed eyes inside a dough well. For dry eyes, screen strain, early cataract support and computer-related headache.
Heat therapies
Swedana — the sweating work
Bashpa Sweda
Herbal steam in a wooden chamber with the head left out. Always follows oil massage, never replaces it.
Patra Potli Sweda
Boluses of chopped leaves and herbs, heated in oil and pressed along the spine and joints. The workhorse therapy for arthritis and cold, stiff pain.
Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda
Boluses of medicinal rice cooked in milk and herbal decoction. Strengthening rather than reducing — for muscle wasting, neuro conditions and post-illness weakness.
Udvartana
Dry herbal powder massage worked against the direction of hair growth. For weight, cellulite, PCOS support and heavy, sluggish Kapha bodies.
Pizhichil
Warm oil poured in a steady stream over the whole body while four hands massage it in. Deeply rebuilding — for neurological weakness and severe Vata disorders.
Lepam & Upanaham
Herbal pastes and poultices applied over a painful joint or a skin lesion and left to act, then removed with warm decoction.

Practical
What to bring, what to expect
- Come on a light stomach. No heavy meal in the two hours before your slot.
- Bring your reports. Blood work, X-rays and MRI films help the vaidya plan faster.
- Expect oil in your hair. Carry a change of clothes; showers are available on site.
- Keep the slot fixed. Therapy works best at the same time each day through a course.
- Rest after. No gym, no long drive and no cold water for two hours after a session.
