Traditional Ayurvedic Bodywork Therapies
ฤbhyaแน ga (60 min)
-
A foundational pillar of Ayurvedic wellness, ฤbhyaแน ga is a rhythmic and deeply nourishing full-body treatment using generous amounts of herb-infused oils. Unlike a standard massage, this "snehana" (a Sanskrit word meaning both "oiling" and "love") therapy is designed to saturate the skin and tissues, allowing the medicinal properties of the herbs to reach deep into the body. The rhythmic strokes help to move lymph, stimulate the internal organs, and coat the nervous system in a protective layer of comfort, leaving you feeling entirely held and rejuvenated.
-
Best for Doแนฃas: Highly beneficial for All Doแนฃas (Tridoshic). The treatment is easily customized based on your unique constitution by selecting specific oils and pacing. It profoundly grounds and warms Vฤta (เคตเคพเคค) to soothe the nervous system; it calms and releases heat from Pitta (เคชเคฟเคคเฅเคค) when cooling oils are used; and it can be applied with more vigorous, stimulating strokes to break up stagnation for Kapha (เคเคซ).
Best for Ailments: Chronic fatigue, dry or aging skin, poor circulation, immune system support, joint stiffness, and recovery from physical or emotional exhaustion.

Pฤdฤbhyaแน ga (30 min)
-
A powerfully grounding therapy that recognizes the feet as the foundation of the body's energy network. Because the feet contain numerous nerve endings and crucial Marma (เคฎเคฐเฅเคฎ) points that connect to all major organs, this massage has a systemic healing effect. Using rich, warm oils or specialized herbal ghee, the practitioner massages the soles, heels, ankles, and calves. This process draws excess heat and chaotic, upward-moving energy down from the head, anchoring the nervous system.
-
Best for Doแนฃas: The ultimate treatment for balancing Vฤta (เคตเคพเคค), which is characterized by ungroundedness, anxiety, and irregular sleep. This treatment is beneficial for anyone, especially those with some stress or eye disorders.
Best for Ailments: Insomnia, cataract, eye dryness, restless leg syndrome, high anxiety, systemic fatigue, localized foot or calf pain, and poor circulation in the lower extremities.

ลirobhyaแน ga (30 min)
-
A targeted, deeply nourishing massage focusing on the areas where we hold the most day-to-day stress. Using warm, specially formulated herbal oils, this treatment works to release built-up tension in the upper back, shoulders, neck, and scalp. By stimulating vital Marma (เคฎเคฐเฅเคฎ) points on the head, it not only physically breaks down muscular knots but also increases oxygen and blood flow to the brain, clearing mental fog and deeply conditioning the hair roots.
-
Best for Doแนฃas: Balances Vฤta (เคตเคพเคค) by calming a racing mind, and Pitta (เคชเคฟเคคเฅเคค) by relieving heat-induced headaches when cooling oils are applied.
Best for Ailments: Migraines, tension headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness, eye strain, TMJ discomfort, mental fatigue, and dry scalp or hair loss.
