Rejuvenation

Abhyanga

A full-body warm oil massage using herbal oils selected for your dosha — the most widely practiced Ayurvedic therapy.

Rejuvenation

Pizhichil

Warm herbal oil poured continuously over the body while therapists massage in synchronized rhythm — one of Kerala's most indulgent therapeutic treatments.

Pain & Joint Care

Njavarakizhi

A warm poultice massage using medicated rice cooked in herbal decoction and milk — one of the primary Ayurvedic therapies for joint and muscle nourishment.

Respiratory & ENT

Nasyam

Medicated oils or herbal extracts administered through the nasal passage — Ayurveda's primary therapy for head, sinus, and upper-respiratory conditions.

Detoxification

Basti

A medicated enema therapy using herbal oils or decoctions — considered the primary treatment for Vata-related disorders in classical Ayurveda.

Weight Management

Udvartana

A vigorous, dry herbal powder massage applied against the direction of hair growth — Ayurveda's primary therapy for weight management and skin toning.
