The Treatments

Sculptural Face Lifting and facial marma treatment in Ojai

Abhyanga A full body warm herbal oil therapy. This is the one most people start with, it calms the nervous system, supports circulation, and brings you back into your body. Think rhythmic, grounding touch, not a spa add on.

Shirodhara A steady stream of warm herbal oil poured across the forehead. Deeply calming for the mind, helpful for sleep, anxiety, and the kind of mental fatigue that doesn't go away with rest alone.

Marma Therapy Gentle activation of specific energy points throughout the body. Restores flow, supports emotional balance, and works well paired with other treatments.

Sculptural Face Lifting A restorative facial ritual combining sculptural lifting techniques, marma work, and Ayurvedic oils. Supports lymphatic flow and brings real vitality back to the face, not a quick fix, an actual shift over a series of sessions.

Basti (Internal) Medicated oil or herbal decoction therapy used in Panchakarma to support the colon, calm vata, and restore vitality to the nervous and digestive systems.

Basti (External): Kati Basti, Janu Basti, Uro Basti & More A dam of warm dough is built directly on the body, then filled with warm herbal oil and held in place over a specific area. Kati Basti focuses on the lower back, Janu Basti on the knees, and Uro Basti (Heart Basti) holds warm oil over the chest to soften and calm the space around the heart. Each one bathes that one area in sustained, deep warmth and oil for targeted relief.

Pichu Oil soaked cloths placed and held over a specific area for sustained, deep penetration of herbal oil. Often used for focused pain relief or deep nervous system calming.

Garshana A dry, brisk therapy using raw silk gloves to stimulate circulation and lymphatic flow before an oil treatment. Invigorating and a great pairing with Abhyanga.

Udvartana An invigorating dry herbal powder therapy that stimulates lymphatic flow, exfoliates, and supports circulation and weight balance.

Pinda Swedana A warm herbal bolus therapy for chronic pain, joint nourishment, and deep seated tension. Especially good for vata and kapha imbalances.

Swedhana (Herbal Steam Therapy) A personalized herbal steam to open the body's channels and support deeper detoxification and relaxation.

Netra Tarpana A pool of warm, medicated ghee held over the eyes using a dough dam, similar in spirit to a basti but for the eyes. Soothing for eye strain, dryness, and tired vision from screens and overuse.

Karna Purana Warm herbal oil gently held in the ears. Calming for the nervous system, helpful for tinnitus, ear discomfort, and that scattered, overstimulated feeling.

Nasya Herbal oil administered through the nasal passages to clear the sinuses and support mental clarity. A simple, grounding therapy, often used alongside other treatments.

Lepas (Herbal Pastes) Cooling, cleansing, or rejuvenating herbal pastes applied to draw out toxins, calm inflammation, or nourish the skin.
