Ayurvedic rejuvenation treatments

Abhyanga Is the name of the synchronized oil treatment, adjusted to each individual. During Abhyanga the patient is gently massaged by two therapists simultaneously, in a set manner. Ladies are treated by female therapists; gentlemen by male therapists. Abhyanga dislodges from the body tissues those toxins and waste products that have already been dissolved by the earlier procedures. Abhyanga is carried out in silence, which helps to harmonize the body's functions. Silence and rest are important components in the process of activating the body's own self-healing mechanisms. The Abhyanga massage uses herbal essences and choice ingredients specially put together for the individual patient. These ingredients are prepared together with soothing oils.

Svedana
The oil massage is often followed by a herbal steam bath with specially selected medicinal herbs. This dilates the vessels and thereby assists the detoxification of the system. The term Svedana includes many different forms of heat treatment. The heat can be dry or damp, applied locally or to the whole body.

Shirodhara A relaxing treatment to the head, in which a stream of warm oil flows evenly over the forehead, lasting for some time. Shirodhara treatment is done in absolute silence. It leads to deep relaxation and a balanced state of rest in mind and body. Men and women alike experience it as a high point of Panchakarma applications.

Nasya
Sinus inflammations, disturbed memory or irritating sounds in the ear (e.g. tinnitus) are problem situations that can be improved through Nasya. Thorough massages to head, shoulders and neck, inhalations and compresses are the well-balanced techniques of this effective therapy. An additional benefit of Nasya therapy, according to Ayurveda, is that it is said to strengthen the mind and intellect.

Pinda Sveda
Small linen bags filled with a specially prepared mixture are applied locally to relieve pain. An additional major role in this therapy is played by the highly effective Ayurveda herbal oils which are specially selected by the doctor for the parts of the body that are painful. The effect of the herbal extracts is to relieve the pain, and to relax and build up the affected area.

Pizhichill
is a special form of treatment, half way between oil massage and heat treatment. In this so-called 'royal treatment' a gentle, synchronized massage is carried out under a constant flow of warm herbal oil. This treatment is highly valued by all guests and produces good results in cases of joint problems and muscle tension.
