Pada abhyanga

Pada (foot) abhyanga (oil massage)

In Ayurveda, feet are the foundation of the body, offering essential structural and functional support. As our feet literally hold us up, stress and tension can accumulate in joints and connective tissues. Whilst we may not ‘feel’ this in the conscious awareness of day-to-day life, it can reveal itself when attention is given to the feet through the application of pressure to marma points and the various energetic channels throughout each foot. Any weakness, overwhelm, or dis-ease held here is thought to affect the whole body-mind and may be felt as pain, discomfort, sensory, or emotional impairment.

Available as a 40-minute harmonising self-care treat, and effective recovery treatment following foot injury, surgery, and rehabilitation strategy following reconstructive surgery. Pada abhyanga uses warm white (harmonising), or black (therapeutic) sesame, or other medicated oil and a bronze Kansa bowl to restore balance, activate immune system responses, promote better sleep, increase blood and lymphatic circulation, and contribute to digestive and eye health.

Choose an add on Ayurvedic hand massage (Hasta abhyanga) to target complementary marma point stimulation as an ultimate joint care treatment for the feet, legs, hands, and arms.

Mukh abhyanga

Mukh (face) abhyanga (oil massage)

This incredible Ayurvedic treatment consists of three elements that collectively treat skin tissues, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic nodes, circulation, and the sense organs:

• Castor oil cleanse and lymphatic massage
• Marma point treatment
• Jojoba oil kansa wand massage

The face holds a large proportion of the lymphatic, waste clearing circulation and is significant in overall immune, circulatory and sense organ function. Ayurvedic face massage is light and gentle, acting not only as a natural face lift, but effectively treats lymphatic congestion, tissue repair, sinus troubles, headaches, neuralgia, jaw tension, insomnia, and conditions that can dull the sense organs.

The bronze tipped Kansa wand and warm jojoba oil create gentle friction through facial muscles, lymphatic vessels, cutaneous nerves, and fascia throughout the face, helping to draw excess acid and toxicity from the skin, whilst balancing electrical energy and soothing nerves. This stimulating yet calming therapy connects you to subtle presence and a sense of clarity.
