Garshana is a dry massage therapy performed with raw silk or wool gloves to exfoliate and revitalize the skin.

Afterwards, Snehana, a full-body application of herbal oils is followed by aromatic hot towels wrapped over the body to further relax and cleanse.

NASYA "nus-ya" (sinus therapy)

Nasya is the nasal administration of herbal preparations. The therapy begins with a eucalyptus face compress, a relaxing foot massage, and a soothing steam inhalation. Warm organic oil is then massaged into the face, neck, and shoulders, focusing on pressure points to release impurities and ease tension around the sinuses, cheekbones, and temples. Customized Nasya oil is carefully administered, followed by a sinus and head massage to sharpen the senses, promote balanced breathing, and leave you feeling refreshed and revitalized. Nasya purifies and nourishes delicate membranes in the nose connected to the senses of taste, sight, and hearing as well as touch and memory, sharpening the intellect and creating a free rhythm of breath.
