Ayurvedic Kerala Herbs And Spices Massage

Kerala massage with heated compress filled with herbs and spices

Removes toxins from the cells and prevents cellulite, rejuvenates the whole body, beautifies the skin, induces sound sleep, promotes vitality, reduces stress, and pacifies Vata dosha (this is the dosha that dries us out as we age).

The Kerala massage is performed in the exact way that Tanya learned during the early months of 2009 with the great Indian therapist Mr. Arun from Puttaparthy, a division of the holistic school of Kerala, India, and shared with her students lately.  Since then we devotedly follow all traditional methods, such as a room temperature of 30 C, all-encompassing physical alignments, and lots of warm herbal oils I prepare specifically for each client.

The treatment starts with an Oil Head Massage in the sitting position. The next step incorporates the use of a heated compress containing a collection of finely chopped herbal leaves, wrapped tightly in natural unbleached cotton and warmed in medicated oil. The heated balls pressed or rolled on the slightly covered body before and during contact massage. This allows the muscles and joints of the body greater movement and flexibility.

The third step is a deep contact massage of all parts of the body (chest and belly included). Marma Massage (Muscle Care Programme) as a part of Kerala massage stimulates all vital points called “marmas” (similar to acupuncture points) and meridians. It helps to attain the equilibrium of Vata, Pitta and Kapha and for those involved in sports, dance and martial arts as it strengthens all deep muscles and ligaments. Kerala type is the best massage for fibromyalgia.

This massage is a great deal for the rejuvenation of our body systems, ideal skin, overall flexibility, as well as emotional release and comfort due to use of the selection of natural herbs, special warm oil, soft music and decent room temperature. It is one of the best massages ever, getting very popular all over the world!

60 min. 3 parts Ayurvedic care is $145
90 min. – $195

Note : Don’t make any arrangements for an hour after your massage; you’ll need time to relax and wash the herbal oil out of your hair and body (or keep it as a mask). It’s a good idea to avoid heavy meals and alcohol in the hours leading up to your session.
