Balances emotions

Harmonizes the nervous system, releasing stored tension and emotional blockages.

Restores sleep

A standard session lasts 60 minutes, including preparation and post-treatment rest. The actual oil pouring continues for 30-40 minutes. Our intensive program features three 90-minute sessions.
Poultice massage is generally safe, but contraindicated for pregnancy (first trimester), recent head injuries, skin infections on the scalp, or severe mental health conditions. We conduct a thorough assessment before treatment.
We use only organic, therapeutic-grade herbs and grains specifically selected for poultice massage. The poultices are filled with medicated leaves, rice, lentils, and healing spices that reduce inflammation and nourish damaged tissues, personalized to your dosha and condition.
We recommend leaving the oil in your hair for at least 2-3 hours post-treatment for maximum benefits. Many clients choose evening appointments so the oil can remain overnight.
Some extended health insurance plans cover Ayurvedic treatments when provided by qualified practitioners. We provide detailed receipts for insurance submission.
Avoid heavy meals 2-3 hours before your session. Wear comfortable clothing you don't mind getting oily. Come with an open mind and allow time after treatment to rest and integrate the experience. Many clients prefer evening appointments.
