Siro-Abhyangam & Paada-Abhyangam

Head and neck massage followed by foot and leg massage — a grounding ritual for tired bodies and restless minds.

I · Overview

This express one-hour treatment integrates the body's two terminal ends. It combines a meticulous head massage (Shiro-Abhyanga) using cooling herb-infused oils to release trapped energy from the sensory organs, with an intensive structural foot massage (Paada-Abhyanga) using a bronze bowl or hands-on marma manipulation to draw excess systemic heat downward.

Expect a crisp, dynamic yet deeply calming hands-on experience: firm acupressure on the scalp, neck and precise foot reflex points, with a mild sensation as the marma are stimulated. You are left clear-headed and physically stable, making it an ideal high-impact treatment when time is short.
