Ayurvedic therapies
Ayurveda is a holistic system of healing which evolved among the sages of ancient India over 5000 years ago. At the Oberoi spa, our therapists help determine your body type or ‘dosha’ and recommend the appropriate therapy and oils. This ancient science focuses on establishing and maintaining the balance of energies within us, promoting harmony between the individual and nature which in turn detoxifies the body and promotes good health.
Ayurvedic traditional massage 75 minutes
A traditional Indian massage using a combination of soothing and symmetrical long strokes to regulate the circulatory and nervous systems of the body. The warm herbal medicinal oil chosen according to your body type balances the doshas and leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. A steam bath is recommended following this massage.
Hot herbal poultice therapy 60 minutes
This therapeutic massage begins with an application of warm oil specific to your dosha. A warm herbal fomentation is applied to relax the muscles while stimulating blood circulation and energy flow. The effect of heat and herbs helps to reduce aches and pains, increase lymphatic drainage and condition the skin, leaving you refreshed and relaxed.
Shiroabhyanga 45 minutes
Using Ayurvedic oils, vital points of the shoulder, neck, head and face are massaged to relax tight muscles and improve blood circulation. With a special focus on ‘Marma’ points around the head, you will feel an immense calming and balancing effect on the nervous system and throughout the body. This therapy concludes with a mild fomentation leaving you totally relaxed.
Padabhyanga 60 minutes
This Ayurvedic reflexology therapy is an ancient massage for the sole which focuses on marma points of the feet and lower legs. Padabhyanga promotes quality sleep, increases circulation and energy flow to boost immunity, rejuvenating your entire body. This therapy incorporates the use of a warm kasa bowl resulting in a more effective therapy as the metal interacts with the energy force of the body.
Shirodhara 60 minutes
Shirodhara is an ancient Indian therapy using warm, medicated oils which flow from a specially designed vessel. A gentle stream of warm oil is directed onto the third eye which in turn triggers healing, restores balanced health and calms the mind.
