NADI SWEDHANA "na-dee sway-duh-n" (localised herbal steam)

Nadi, meaning “tube,” refers to a localized Swedhana therapy using steam from an Ayurvedic herbal decoction. Specialized equipment is used to manually direct the steam to targeted areas, such as the chest for respiratory conditions, joints for arthritis and related disorders, or muscles for specific injuries and paralysis. The penetrating steam drives heat and herbal oils deep into tissues through the skin's pores, offering profound relief. This therapy is highly effective for improving joint mobility and muscle stiffness. Service time includes a shower if requested at booking. *ADD-ON THERAPY ONLY*
45 Minutes - $125

PATRA POTALI SWEDHANA
"pat-ra poe-ta-li sway-duh-n" or "PPS" (herbal bundle steam massage)

Patra Potali Swedhana is a wonderfully rejuvenating treatment in which fresh plants are cooked with Ayurvedic herbs and tied into cloth bundles. The therapy begins with full body application of organic herbal and aroma-therapeutic Samya Dosha Oils. Then the bundles are warmed in special herbal oils and massaged synchronistically all over the body. PPS is one of the most rejuvenating and therapeutic treatments of Ayurveda. Because of the messy nature of this therapy, there is minimal draping, thus disposable underpants are provided. Service time includes shower.
90 Minutes - $215

BASHPA SWEDHANA "bush-pa sway-duh-n" (full body aromatherapy steam)

A deeply cleansing Ayurvedic steam therapy that gently opens the pores and draws out toxins through the skin. Performed in our herbal steam canopy with Dosha-specific essential oils, this treatment encourages purification, soothes muscular tension, and promotes mental clarity. While the body is bathed in warm, aromatic steam, the head and heart remain cool for comfort and balance. Ideal following a Snehana (oil massage), Bashpa Swedhana enhances detoxification and leaves you feeling light, refreshed, and renewed. Service time includes shower.
*ADD-ON THERAPY ONLY*
45 Minutes - $125

PINDA SWEDHANA "pin-da sway-duh-n" (herbal rice bundle steam massage)

Pinda Swedhana is rare and exotic experience in which a bundle, made from grains and herbs covered in cotton cloth are dipped in milk and used to firmly massage the entire body. Like most Swedhana therapies, Pinda Swedhana provides deep detoxification by inducing sweating. The therapy begins with full body application of organic herbal Samya Dosha Oils. Afterwards the entire body is synchronistically massaged with the warm bundles. Because of the messy nature of this therapy, there is minimal draping, thus disposable underpants are provided. This therapy revitalizes the whole body, giving energy and mobility, relieving stress, restoring the appetite and sleep patterns. Service time includes shower.
90 Minutes - $215

THE DEEP COMFORT OF WARMTH

Settle Into Steam, Warmth and Stillness

There is something profoundly settling about warmth. Steam gathers softly around the body, herbal aromas rise with the heat, and warmed bundles of rice and botanicals bring a slow, comforting weight to the treatment. Whether you choose the quiet enveloping heat of the sauna, an Ayurvedic herbal steam, or a hands-on warming therapy, each experience offers its own way to soften tension, slow the pace and simply rest.
