Our Ayurveda treatments

Ayurveda, which literally means “knowledge of life”, is the mother of all healing arts. Ayurveda is primarily a health concept. The most important goal is the maintenance of health, vitality, and well-being, as well as the rejuvenation of the entire being. Our expert for Ayurveda, singing bowls, and energy treatments, Hasitha Nimal da Silva, was born in Badulla, Sri Lanka. He offers the following standard Ayurveda treatments and specials:

ABHYANGA – Ayurvedic full-body oil massage incl. face and head

The Ayurveda full-body massage with warm sesame oil is a balm for the entire nervous system. The oil nourishes cells and organs and frees toxins from the tissues. Soothing Abhyanga promotes vitality, strength, endurance, and flexibility, while also improving concentration, intelligence, and youthfulness.

VISHESH – Deep full-body massage

Vishesh is performed with intensive pressure and an increased pace. This massage activates the circulation of blood and lymph, while also removing toxins. The strong pressure revitalises deeper layers of tissue. The focus is on regeneration and detoxification of the body.

 

approx. 50 min.

SHIROABHYANGA – Ayurvedic head massage

Shiroabhyanga is an Ayurvedic head and shoulder massage that has a calming and relaxing effect. It harmonises body, mind, and soul. It is effective in reducing stress, nervousness, and inner tension.

INDIVIDUAL AYURVEDA – “get to know Ayurveda”

This treatment is ideal for learning about and immersing yourself in the Ayurvedic world. No matter whether it’s a back, neck, or foot massage, our Ayurveda expert focuses on what you need. Please note that Shirodhara or Abhyanga cannot be performed during this treatment.

 

approx. 50 min.

SHIRODHARA – oil flow over forehead

During this Ayurvedic treatment, warm oil is poured over the forehead, which pleasantly flows over the head. This harmonises both halves of the brain and relaxes body, mind, and soul. The name Shirodhara comes from Sanskrit: “shiro” means head and “dhara” means flow.

 

approx. 60 min.

SINGING BOWL TREATMENT – a journey through the chakras

During the singing bowl massage, singing bowls are placed on the clothed body and struck. The sound of the singing bowl reaches deep within us and makes our souls vibrate. The sound releases blockages, the body’s self-healing powers are activated, and energy is released. Experience harmony and balance, peace and deep relaxation, stress reduction and a journey within yourself.
