Karna Purna ~ Ear Treatment
[ 45 Mins | $65 | $135 with Abhyanga ]
This is a traditional ear treatment used as a form of maintenance for this organ we mostly take granted for. We use warm organic sesame oil and pour into your thirsty ears.

Udvartana ~ Herbal Lymphatic Drainage Massage [ 45 Mins | $180 ]
Medicated herbal pastes are massaged onto your body with specific strokes. The repeated movements over hair follicles and skin tissue promote the breakdown of fatty deposits. The friction of the powder during the massage creates heat on the body, which increases circulation. It removes toxins and exfoliates the skin. Benefits range from reducing cellulite, weight loss, clear skin as well as imparting mobility to the joints while strengthening and shaping the muscles. This is recommended for kapha congestion or imbalances.

Therapeutic Hand and Foot Massage
[ 30 Mins | $55 ]
For sore, tired hands and feet, this relaxing therapy works an infusion of aromatic oils, into vital reflex points through marma therapy. Massage energizes and lifts your soul by bringing proper circulation to your hands and feet. Your entire body is stimulated while herbal oils relax and soothe these over worked parts of your body.

How Do Imbalances Occur
Today our society promotes a lifestyle that particularly increases vata, which is associated with air and ether in our lives such as driving in cars, irregular eating and sleeping patterns, eating the wrong food combinations, improper breathing, flying in airplanes frequently. This aggravates the Vata (air and space elements) in your body.

When "vata" gets disturbed, sleep and digestion becomes a problem, gas forms in the stomach, we start to feel more stress in our daily life, our skin becomes dry, and tension occurs in the nervous system. Ayurveda treatments and oils pacify the nervous system and brings calmness and serenity to daily life.
