HEAD TO TOES
Ayurvedic/Indian Head Massage (Shirobhyanga)
30 min (£35)
Ayurvedic Head Massage is an intensely relaxing and revitalising massage which nourishes both the hair and roots. It can improve the blood circulation and lymph flow in the head region and can help reduce pain, tension and inflammation and energy blockages in the head, neck, shoulders and arms. It also stimulates the sensory organs and can be very helpful in relaxing the mind, especially when received as a regular treatment.
A head massage is said to directly affect all seven chakras (major energy centres of the body) and to help vital energy to rise up to the crown. It is an excellent stress reliever and can help relieve headaches and insomnia. It is also often used as a treatment for eye pain. Can be with or without oil, and can be either a seated massage or on the couch.
Ayurvedic Facelift Massage (Mukhabhyanga)
30 min (£35)
An Ayurvedic face-lift massage is a gentle way to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin, activating the skin’s natural metabolism, to improve muscle tone, lymph drainage and the skin’s capacity to retain moisture. This massage is a great way to keep wrinkles at bay as it promotes the regeneration of healthy, younger-looking skin. After a face-lift massage the skin is glowing, soft and smooth.
A face-lift massage is good for stress and tension, promotes clear thinking and restful sleep, and nourishes the sensory organs.
The face massage requires the neck and shoulders to be uncovered.
Neck & Shoulder Massage
30 min (£35) ~ 45 min (£45)
This is a focused massage for the neck and shoulders that helps to relieves build-ups of tension in the head, neck, shoulders and arms.
It can be very helpful for people who work on computers or have very physical jobs.
This treatment works very well for people who would like a short regular treatment, and aspects of the head and face massage can be included if required.
Ayurvedic Hand Massage (Hasta Abyhanga)
30 min (£35) ~ 45 min (£45)
An Ayurvedic Hand Massage is effective to relieve tension in the hands and wrists, and feelings of emotional tension, anxiety and nervousness. It can also help the respiratory system and can be an effective treatment for people suffering from asthma or other respiratory ailments.
This treatment is indicated for insomnia, palpitations, low blood pressure and dizziness, any stress or tension in the hands and arms themselves, and disorders such as carpel tunnel syndrome, repetitive strain injuries and Raynaud’s disease.
Ayurvedic Foot Massage (Pada Abhyanga)
30 min (£35) ~ 45 min (£45)
A wonderful treat for tired feet and legs and an excellent stress reliever. Foot massage can help alleviate anxiety, palpitations and insomnia, and is also a traditional Ayurvedic treatment for the digestive system. It is said to remove excess heat that accumulates in the body. This can manifest as headaches and migraines, high blood pressure, or sleeplessness due to feeling hot in the night.
Foot massage can help to relieve skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and problems with the back. It is also used as part of treatment plans for chronic fatigue syndrome and multiple sclerosis.
As the feet contain energy centres that correspond to the entire body, an Ayurvedic foot massage can have a relaxing and balancing effect on the body as a whole. It can improve blood circulation, help to prevent and treat varicose veins and can reduce swelling and soreness in the lower legs.
