ABHYANGA
AND SHIRODHARA Available
in Hayward only
90/120 MINUTES $90/$120
Immediately following your Abhyanga, your
therapist continues with a slow pouring
of warm oil onto the forehead using a specific pattern for approximately
15-20
minutes. Then you will receive a very gentle scalp massage so
as not to stimulate the
Vata dosha but massage the oils into the hair and scalp. The excess oil
is then
squeezed out of the hair and it is advisable to keep the remaining oil
in the hair
overnight to continue Vata pacification.
FACE THERAPY AND SHIRODHARA Available
in Hayward only
60/90 MINUTES $60/$90
One hundred and fifty acupressure points are utilized with this therapy.
This treatment begins with a clarifying Ayurvedic facial. Your skin will
be cleansed,
a
masque will then be applied that is most suitable for your skin type, and
finally your
face will be massaged with a cream of crushed pearls. The Shirodhara
portion of the
treatment begins with a slow pouring of warm oil onto the forehead. This
stimulates
the pituitary gland, helps balance the endocrine system, and relaxes the
nervous
system. You will then receive a very gentle scalp massage and excess oil
will be
squeezed out of the hair. According to Ayurveda it is advisable to leave
oil in the hair
and scalp overnight to balance the Vata dosha.
