The retreat package includes rejuvenating Ayurvedic Abhyanga massages and a refreshing steam baths at no additional cost.
During the Abhyanga massage, the trained therapists use medicated herbal oils tailored to your body type and doshas. The massage helps to eliminate deep-seated toxins from your joints and tissues, promoting overall detoxification and delaying the aging process. Additionally, the massage nourishes, strengthens, and lubricates your joints, making them more resilient to wear and tear. Your skin will also benefit from the massage, as accumulated toxins are released, leaving your skin looking healthy and clear.
The Vashpaswedanam steam bath, which uses medicinal plant leaves, is another special treatment included in the retreat. This steam bath effectively removes impurities from the body, aids in weight loss, and can improve the appearance of skin conditions like acne.
