Knee Therapy
Janu Basti
Warm medicated oil is retained within a dam of herbal dough over the knee joint, deeply nourishing the cartilage and ligaments. It eases pain, stiffness and swelling and slows the wear of osteoarthritis, restoring easier movement over a course of sessions.
Lower Back
Kati Basti
A well of herbal dough is built over the lower back and filled with warm medicated oil, which is left to soak into the lumbar muscles and spine. It relieves chronic back pain, sciatica and spinal stiffness by improving circulation and reducing inflammation at the source.
Neck Therapy
Greeva Basti
Warm oil is pooled over the cervical spine within a dough boundary, softening tight neck muscles and lubricating the joints. It brings lasting relief from neck pain, cervical spondylosis and stiffness caused by long hours of desk work or poor posture.
Herbal Fomentation
Patra Potli Swed
Fresh medicinal leaves are heated in warm oil, bundled into poultices and dabbed rhythmically over the affected area. The gentle heat and herbal potency relax stiff muscles, reduce swelling and ease joint pain, especially in arthritis and sports injuries.
Blood Letting
Sira Ved
A precise, controlled venous bloodletting procedure performed by trained vaidyas to draw out vitiated blood believed to underlie stubborn skin disorders and localised swelling. It is reserved for specific conditions and always carried out under close clinical supervision.
Marma Needling
Viddha Karma
A targeted needling therapy applied at the body's marma (vital) points to stimulate nerve and muscle function. It is especially effective for chronic pain, paralysis-related stiffness and neuromuscular disorders that have not responded to conventional treatment.
Head & Neck
Shiro Abhayanga
A soothing rhythmic massage of the head, neck and shoulders using warm medicated oils suited to your constitution. It dissolves accumulated tension, nourishes the scalp and hair roots, and calms the mind, making it a favourite for stress and headaches.
Suction Therapy
Dry Cupping
Heated cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction, drawing blood to the surface and releasing deeply held muscular tension. It improves local circulation and is widely used for back pain, stiffness and general muscular fatigue.
Foot Massage
Pad Abhayanga
A therapeutic foot massage using warm medicated oil, worked into the soles and pressure points to relax the entire body. It improves circulation to the lower limbs, promotes deeper sleep and revives feet tired from long hours of standing or walking.
Full Body
Sarvang Abhayanga
A synchronised, full-body massage performed by two therapists using warm herbal oils chosen for your body type. It improves circulation, eases muscular and joint stiffness, calms the nervous system and is a cornerstone of Panchakarma preparation.
Oil Flow Therapy
Shirodhara Therapy
A continuous, gently oscillating stream of warm medicated oil is poured over the forehead for a sustained period. This deeply meditative therapy relieves stress, anxiety and insomnia, and is one of the most requested treatments for mental calm.
Thermal Cautery
Agni Karma
A precise, instantaneous thermal cautery applied to specific points using a heated medicated probe. It gives fast, lasting relief from chronic and localised pain, particularly in joints and tendons that have resisted other forms of treatment.
Sand Poultice
Baluka Potli
Fine sand is heated and packed into cloth poultices, then applied over affected joints and muscles to deliver deep, penetrating heat. It relieves stiffness, reduces swelling and helps clear Ama (metabolic toxins) that aggravate joint pain.
Full-Body Steam
Sarvang Swedan
A full-body herbal steam bath that follows an oil massage, opening the body's channels and encouraging the release of accumulated toxins. It relieves muscular stiffness, improves flexibility and is a key preparatory step in Panchakarma.
Eye Rejuvenation
Akshi Tarpan
A pool of warm medicated ghee is held around the eyes within a dam of dough, nourishing and rejuvenating the ocular tissues. It relieves dryness and strain from prolonged screen use, and helps improve clarity of vision over repeated sessions.
Jalaukavacharana
Leech Therapy
Medicinal leeches are applied to affected areas under strict clinical hygiene to draw out impure blood. This classical purification therapy is used for stubborn skin conditions, varicose veins and non-healing wounds with notable success.
Oil Enema
Anuvasana Basti
A gentle, medicated oil-based enema administered in small quantities to lubricate and nourish the colon and surrounding tissues. It is especially effective for Vata-related disorders such as dryness, constipation and joint pain.
Decoction Enema
Niruha Basti
A herbal decoction enema, often paired with Anuvasana Basti, that cleanses the colon and flushes deep-seated toxins from the body. It is considered one of the most powerful Panchakarma procedures for restoring balance to aggravated Vata.
