This is an ancient form of head, neck and shoulder massage which has a profound effect on the whole body. We have 10 gateways into the body, eight of which are above the neck therefore the head is a crucial part to be massaged. Using ayurvedic hair oils for your body type and the ancient gift of marma therapy, it is an excellent therapy for relieving stress and calming the nervous system. Oil combined with massage strengthens and nourishes the hair.
The ayurvedic oils used have properties to cool the brain, enhance eyesight and calm the mind. Head massage also increases oxygen supply to the brain along with the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, increasing the level of life energy. It is also an excellent natural way for the relief of migraines.

A gentle oilation of the body using specifically formulated 100% natural oils. Imported from India and made in strict accordance with classic formulas, these herbalised massage oils contain a blend of carefully chosen herbs known for their ability to balance your physiology, vikruti and calm the mind. These oils are laced with herbs to remedy specific body and mind concerns. Depending on your prakruti and your symptoms, Hazel will choose an oil best suited to you. Ayurveda recommends that a hot bath or herbal fomentation be taken after abhyanga.

Deepest Effects:

In order to keep one's health and, awareness and longevity, massage is very essential. With massage the physical appearance of the body is enhanced to a great extent. Massage also aids in the healing of many illnesses. Abhyanga nourishes the skin, and gradually the tissues beneath. With habitual use of this technique, each of the dhatus is replenished. Dhatus are the 7 levels of bodily tissue that create the structure and make the functioning of bodily systems possible. They are:

1. Rasa Dhatu: plasma, white blood cells and immune system
2. Rakta Dhatu: red blood cells
3. Mamsa Dhatu: muscle
4. Meda Dhatu: fat tissue
5. Asthi: bone and cartilage
6. Majja: nervous system and bone marrow
7. Shakra: male reproductive tract Or Artava: female reproductive tract

The Ayurvedic texts recommend that you give yourself an abhyanga treatment on a daily basis before bathing. It is nourishing, pacifies Vata and Kapha, relieves fatigue, provides stamina, pleasure and perfect sleep, enhances the complexion and the luster of the skin, promotes longevity and nourishes all parts of the body. Since few of us have the time for this, I would recommend a weekly professional abhyanga or ayurvedic full body massage for similar effects.

With all the benefits of the abhyanga, this is a deeper muscular massage. The therapist works more specifically on areas relaxing the muscles on a deeper level. Pain management oil infused with vata reducing herbs and camphor may be used if pain is present otherwise an oil specific to your dosha will be chosen.

Benefits include:

- Improving circulation in the body. Commonly a part of the body that has become stiff or flabby has poor circulation and little feeling. Ayurvedic oil massage to these areas can help re-establish proper circulation and nervous system activity.
- Providing a purifying and cleansing influence to the physiology. When we rub and press the body we help break up the accumulated deposits of toxins and impurities that have localized in the tissues. The motion also creates heat and friction and increases the flow of fluids through the blood and lymph vessels. This helps to cleanse and open these important channels of circulation and elimination.
- Maintaining the suppleness and youthfulness of the skin. When warm oil is applied to the body, some of it is absorbed by the skin. Even after showering there remains a softness and suppleness to the skin. Oil application helps prevent the skin from becoming dry and helps to maintain its youthfulness.
- Creating a stabilizing and balancing effect on Vata. Classic symptoms of Vata imbalance are fatigue and lack of mental clarity. When the entire body surface area has absorbed Ayurvedic oil and herbs these symptoms are reduced and there is greater balance, strength and stability during the day.
- Increasing the secretion of hormones from the skin. These hormones, including growth hormone and endorphins help confer strength and immunity on the system.

The nose is the gateway to the brain and to consciousness. Prana, or life energy, enters the body through breath taken in through the nose. Nasal administration of herbal oils helps to correct the disorders of prana affecting the higher cerebral, sensory and motor functions.

Nasya is indicated for dryness of the nose, sinus congestion, hoarseness, migraine headache, certain eye and ear problems and repeated head colds.

Allow 1 hour for this treatment. A head and face massage must first be administered followed by a hot towel treatment. Only then may the oil be introduced to the nasal passages. Following this, the smoke from a herbal cone is inhaled, in order to clear the nose of excess oiliness.

€65 per 1 hour session. A course of a minimum of 7 sessions is recommended. The full course of 7 sessions costs €350.

So many of us use various face creams (some of them extremely expensive) to enhance beauty and longevity without realizing that massage can do wonders for the face and in a very natural way. Commencing with a gentle face and neck massage, circulation is increased (skin is nourished and soothed) preparing you for the full harmonious effect of this facial. Using ayurvedic facial massage creams a face massage can restore firmness and youth by rejuvenating the elasticity in the muscles. A hot towel treatment opens the pores, allowing the release of toxins and a deeper cleanse. The 100% natural face packs used, are formulated according to the ancient ways of Ayurveda to enhance the natural glow of the skin and to reduce the effect of wrinkles.

Treatments for acne prone skin are also available. During the face massage, the pulp of selected fruits is used for its anti-bacterial effect. The hot towel treatment opens the pores to allow the specially formulated anti-acne face pack work to its full effect.

Also available: Face massage - €35 per 30 minute session

Pain Management Treatments

Pain is due to an imbalance in the vata dosha. By using warm oil treatments we can reduce the effects of vata on the area and thus reduce the pain.

Following a short abhyanga, a cloth bag filled with Ayurvedic herbs is dipped in hot oil and massaged over the affected area for 30 minutes. In addition to bringing great relief to any aching joint or muscle, this therapy has the added benefits of revitalizing the entire body, giving energy and mobility. It also relieves stress, restoring digestive functions and sleep patterns. May also be applied to whole body if no specific pain is present.

Svedanam therapy is designed to induce sweating which occurs through the skin by way of the hair follicles, and through the fat tissues of the body. As a result the fiery content of the body increases facilitating in the expulsion of toxins from the system. It helps relieve stiffness, heaviness and coldness. Vata reducing herbs are boiled and the steam is passed over the whole body or a localized area (depending on the treatment) for 15-20 minutes.

Unfortunately the svedanam therapies cannot be carried out on those with diabetes or those suffering from fever.

During the massage the therapist will use cushions to ensure that your body is supported and you are completely comfortable.  The massage will be soothing and calming.  The therapist will go deep in areas such as the shoulders where required.  We don’t use Ayurvedic oils for pregnancy massage for the same reasons it is good to avoid certain spices in your diet while pregnant, instead we use a smooth base oil.
Regular massage during the second and third trimester of pregnancy gives similar benefits to those of our Ayurvedic full body massage and are manyfold.

Reflexology is a foot therapy that can be effectively used to help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, increase circulation & movement of lymph, helping the body to detox and also helps to aid relaxation. The therapist stimulates certain points and meridians that correspond to and run through the main systems of the body. In essence, it is believed that the feet represent a microcosm of the body and all of its systems. These systems e.g. the circulatory system, lymphatic system, digestive system, nervous system etc. can be aided through reflexology in many ways.
All these benefits aside, reflexology is a wonderfully relaxing experience and can leave you feeling grounded, calm and energised.
