Services Offered

We offer a variety of services that are tailored to meet the individual needs of our clients. Our services include:

• Initial Consultation: During the initial consultation, we establish a baseline on all new patients. This visit reveals the body-mind composition, preferred diet for balance, and recommended herbs or treatments to achieve specific health goals. This appointment is essential for creating a customized health plan.
• Abhyanga: Abhyanga is a detoxifying body treatment that heals and detoxifies the entire system with long strokes of warm medicated oil. This 60-minute treatment helps to remove toxins from the body, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
• Shirodhara: Shirodhara is a relaxing oil treatment that relieves stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia through natural serotonin, dopamine, and melatonin release. Warm, medicated oil streams across the forehead for a relaxing treatment that helps mental clarity and focus. This 60-minute treatment also helps to promote hair growth and hydration.
• Basti: Basti is a rejuvenating body treatment that is best for specific site injury, such as low back pain, eye treatment in cases of chronic dry eye or macular degeneration, or knee/joint pain. This 60-minute treatment uses medicated oils to treat acute injuries or aches.
• Hair Treatment: Our hair treatment promotes hair growth, natural color maintenance, and hydration. Using a formulation of neelibringadi oil, the scalp and hair shaft are nourished with a relaxing massage. This 60-minute treatment also helps to promote relaxation and stress relief.

Medicated oils are used to lubricate and promote healing of the sinuses while the facial area is palpated to promote detoxification and clearing.
