Ayurveda Hair & Scalp Therapy

Scalp and hair oil massage, thala pothichil (herbal scalp wrap), takra dhaara (medicated buttermilk treatment) and a kashaya wash. Our most complete hair and scalp restoration therapy.

I · Overview

Our most luxurious and clinically exhaustive hair and scalp restoration therapy, this 90-minute experience progresses through four carefully sequenced stages. It opens with a deep, nourishing scalp and hair oil massage, followed by Thala Pothichil, a scalp packing with a thick customised herbal paste of herbs such as Amalaki and Hibiscus processed in buttermilk, wrapped securely with natural leaves. A continuous Takra Dhara buttermilk pour over the wrapped area follows, before a restorative Kashaya herbal-decoction wash.

This premium, multi-layered treatment is designed for advanced or chronic concerns. The initial massage melts away tension, the thick herbal wrap and buttermilk stream work deeply on the scalp, and the final Kashaya wash leaves the hair intensely soft. It cools the central nervous system while nourishing the follicles.
