Njavara Milk Facial
A special Ayurveda facial using Njavara rice (a red variety of rice), medicated milk and herbs. Includes face scrub, massage, pack and cleansing.
A premium, deeply restorative treatment unique to traditional Kerala Ayurveda. It uses 'Njavara' rice — a medicinal red rice cooked in a decoction of varnya herbs and pure cow's milk. The face is treated with warm poultices or pastes of this rich, nutrient-dense rice blend so the skin deeply absorbs proteins, vitamins and minerals.
The treatment also includes cleansing, herbal bleaching, a herbal face scrub, an oil massage of the face and neck, and a face pack with herbs such as Rakthachandanam and Manjistha — an intensely rich, comforting 90-minute ritual.
