  • EXTERNAL BASTIS: after a full body Abhyanga massage, local application of warm medicinal oils using a paste, on painful areas : back, neck, knees, eyes, navel, heart.

 

  • INTERNAL BASTIS: Panchakarma technique adapted according to imbalances (plant oils, decoctions, etc.) allowing to cleanse or regenerate while respecting the mucous membranes of the colon.

 

  • VIRECHANA: Purgations

 

  • CUPPING: an ancient method that uses suction to create a massive influx of blood (hyperemia), resulting in decompression of the area where it is applied. Circulation improves, toxin drainage accelerates, and the decongestion has an analgesic effect which, depending on its location, stimulates the marma points.

 

  • ABDOMINAL TREATMENT: abdominal massage followed by a treatment with green clay and/or plants.

 

  • SAUNA (SWEDANA): after or before your massage (depending on the type of treatment), enjoy the benefits of our Finnish lava stone sauna.

Feet and Legs

Foot massage

This massage helps eliminate toxins, promotes sleep, calms anxiety, and balances Pitta. The treatment begins with a manual foot massage followed by the bowl massage. Suitable for bedridden individuals.

  • PAGACHAMPI: after foot baths with salt and/or herbs, leg massage by pressure.

Contraindications for Ayurvedic treatment:

  • Recent surgery: it is best to wait 2 months after a major operation before undertaking an Ayurvedic treatment.
