Oil Massage — Ages 1 to 5
A gentle full-body Ayurvedic oil massage designed for the youngest children. A 15-minute consultation is mandatory before this therapy.
A very gentle, nourishing full-body Ayurvedic oil application designed for infants and young children aged 1 to 5. Using mild traditional oils such as Lakshadi Keram or Nalpamaradi Keram, the therapist works with light, nurturing strokes to support skin health, bone density and healthy weight gain during these formative early years.
The session is rhythmic and deeply soothing rather than deep-tissue. Every detail — the choice of oil, its temperature and the duration — is custom-selected for your child following a mandatory pre-therapy consultation with our Ayurveda Vaidya, who assesses your little one's constitution and sensitivity beforehand.
What this therapy supports
- Strengthens developing bones and muscles
- Enhances the skin's natural immunity
- Improves the quality and depth of sleep
- Relieves common discomforts such as colic and gas
- Calms Vata for a settled, contented child
