Ayurveda Hot GemStone Therapy: Shila Abhyanga
Shila Abhyanga (hot stone massage) is a gentle relaxation massage with your choice of phytotherapy (natural plant-based medicine) warm oils or cool creams infused with powdered amethyst, incorporating steam packs, steamy towels, warm and cool basalt stones, and warm jade, amethyst, and tourmaline massage stones. These gemstones' piezoelectric effect (when warmed) is that they emit far infrared radiation which penetrates the skin and causes cellular regeneration and a sense of well-being. The warm stones flow with each stroke, flipping, spinning, and pressing the muscles and marmani (vital energy points), improving circulation and muscle tone, while the cool stones relieve inflammation, leading to a deep sense of peace and contentment.

Ayurveda Lymphatic Detoxification Therapy: Garshana & Cupping
Derived from Ayurveda, the oldest system of medicine of which we have written record, Lymphatic Detoxification is light-touch relaxation massage with profound effects on the lymph, nervous, and endocrine systems. Your treatment begins with a warm aromatherapy foot soak and scrub followed by garshana (whole-body dry brushing with raw silk or textured gloves) to remove dead skin cells, encourage micro circulation to the skin, and stimulate lymph flow. After a nurturing soft-touch massage application of handmade natural phytotherapy (plant-based medicine) cream, varying diameters of cups are placed on the skin and pressure removed within the cups as they slide along nerve and lymph pathways, alleviating pain, reducing scar tissue and adhesions in the fascia, removing stagnation in the tissues, and promoting circulation and detoxification.

Your Practitioner is dedicated to unearthing the root cause behind any signs/symptoms you may be experiencing. To affect change, you will be given the appropriate Ayurvedic Medicine to implement in your daily life, including any combination of the following:
- nutrition and phytotherapy (plant-based medicine)
- pranayama (breathing therapies)

In better words, you are the key to your own health, and you are the only true obstacle to the same.
