Ayurvedic Bodywork

Abhyanga

90 minutes, $120

More than a massage, Abhyanga is a ceremonial experience. Warm herbalized oil is poured all over the body from head to toe, and worked into the skin using long, deep stokes, with targeted attention to problem areas. Therapeutic grade essential oil attars are also applied to marma points, and nasya and karna purana is also a part of this treatment.
