Abhyangam with Sirodhaara
Ayurvedic oil massage combined with sirodhaara to reduce body pain, stiffness and improve sleep. A 15-minute consultation is mandatory before this therapy.
This treatment combines an oil massage immediately followed by Shirodhara, a powerful dual-action synergy for old-age care. The Abhyangam relaxes the physical body and subdues peripheral Vata, while Shirodhara simultaneously calms the mind and nervous system, maximising the therapeutic absorption of both.
Expect an incredibly deep state of relaxation: a warm medicated oil massage, the body enveloped in warm oils, and then the gentle, uniform, rhythmic pressure of the oil stream on the forehead. A 15-minute consultation is required first so the therapy can be adapted for senior guests.
