Maharishi Ayurveda Spa

 

Using highly trained therapists we offer a range of natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies.

Abhyanga - a whole body Ayurvedic Massage - uses special herbalised oils. The massage is varied from person to person depending on their body type. Abhyanga normally uses warm herbalised sesame oil and is carried out in silence. The sesame oil penetrates through the pores of the skin to dissolve and remove impurities. The herbs are absorbed to benefit the tissues and organs within. Silence and rest are important components in activating the body's own self healing mechanisms.

Abhyanga / Shirodhara - This treatment starts with an abhyanga (see above). A stream of warm oil is then poured continuously over the forehead for some time.
