ayurvedic knee clinic
Janu Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment in which a dam of black gram dough is constructed around the knee joint and filled with warm, medicated oil. The oil is held in place for an extended period, allowing deep penetration into the joint tissues — nourishing cartilage, lubricating the joint space, and calming the aggravated vata that underlies most chronic knee pain and stiffness.
This treatment is particularly indicated for those experiencing joint degeneration, post-injury stiffness, runner's knee, osteoarthritis, or the creaking, crackling quality that comes with age and dryness in the joints. It is equally valuable as a preventive measure for active people — hikers, dancers, athletes — who place sustained demand on their knees.
Shiro abhyagna - head spa
Shiro Abhyanga with Marma (Ayurvedic Head Spa)
Murdha Taila Clinic Champi & Kesha Dhoopanam —
Ayurvedic Head Ritual For the overstimulated, the travel-worn, the ones whose heads have been carrying too much for too long. This clinic revives two classical Ayurvedic practices for the head: champi — warm medicated oil worked through the scalp, neck, and upper back with marma-informed touch — followed by kesha dhoopanam, the ancient hair fumigation ritual in which a custom blend of sambrani, sandalwood, and Ayurvedic botanicals is warmed and fanned gently through the hair. The smoke purifies, the oil nourishes, and the hair holds the fragrance long after you leave. Ear seeding and a sandalwood close complete the session.
ayurvedic face treatments
Mukha Abhyanga Clinic
Ayurvedic Face Treatment For the sun-exposed, the wind-touched, the ones whose skin has been living outside all summer. Mukha abhyanga is the classical Ayurvedic facial — not an extraction, not a peel. Warm medicated oil is worked into the face, jaw, and neck through marma-informed touch, preceded by a gentle herbal exfoliation to clear what summer has deposited on the skin. The session closes with sandalwood and rose at the marma points of the face and crown — cooling, clarifying, complete. Skin that is deeply fed rather than stripped.
Eye Strain Clinic
A Spring Reset for the Eyes and Nervous System
For the screen-tired, the over-thinking, the visually exhausted. Netra basti is the classical Ayurvedic treatment in which warm medicated ghee is held over the closed eyes inside a small dam of dough. It is one of the deepest, most quieting treatments in the Ayurvedic tradition, and one of the most effective for a head and nervous system worn down by modern visual life.
