More Spa Options


Don't these treatments sound interesting?

  • Kadhikizhi - Whole body is massaged with plump, linen bundles that are stuffed with a special herbal powder and seeds and fomented with an herbal starch steam. Improves the mobility of joints and strengthens muscles and nerves. 
  • Navarakizhi - The body is massaged with small linen bundles filled with cooked Navara rice which is cooked in cow's milk and a specific herbal mixture. These bags ( not too hot, not too cold, just right) are dipped in this mixture and applied over the whole body of the patient. After wiping the body with a dry towel, medicated oil is applied. This treatment provides luster to the skin and nourishment to the body through the skin. 
  • Thalapothichil - After a traditional head massage an herbal paste (made up of amla, buttermilk and other ingredients cooked and made into a paste) is applied to the head. After that it is covered with a banana leaf and then with a special cloth. This treatment relieves stress and gives the hair a nice glow. 
  • Udwarthanam - Classic deep ayurvedic massage using herbal powders, which stimulates and breaks down subcutaneous fat tissue, fat storage. A mixture of herbal powder is massaged directly onto the body in the opposite direction of the blood flow. This acts as a natural exfoliant and is very effective for reducing body fat. This massage tones the skin and muscles, while improving blood circulation.

How can I possibly choose?
