Ayurveda Therapy
Ayurveda means "the science or knowledge of life" and is an ancient system of Indian holistic healthcare. Our wellness programmes aim to restore the body to a natural state of equilibrium by rectifying imbalances in the body.
Our Ayurvedic consultant can prescribe the most appropriate treatments based on a one-on-one consultation with you. Three sessions are recommended for complete treatment.
Abhyanga
Abhyanga is a rhythmic Ayurvedic massage that uses warm herbal oils to help energise the body and improve circulation. As impurities and toxins loosen from the muscles, it helps to enhance the body’s immunity while inducing a state of deep relaxation in the mind.
Pizichil
During a Pizichil therapy, warm herbal oil is continuously poured over the entire body. Our COMO Shambhala experts combine this Ayurvedic treatment with a soothing massage to create a rejuvenating therapy that counteracts everyday stress.
Abhyanga and Swedana
This dual therapy begins with Abhyanga, a rhythmic massage that uses herbal oils to stimulate the circulation of blood, lymph and prana (energy). This is followed by Swedana, a herbal steam that improves circulation, detoxifies, relieves stiffness, loosens muscles and helps skin tone.
Nasya Karma
This nurturing treatment is excellent for sinus suffers, as well as those who are coming down with (or recovering from) a cold or the flu. It begins with a gentle face massage, followed by facial steam to prepare the upper respiratory channels for better clearance. Finally, herbalised oils are administered into the nasal passage to facilitate the expulsion of any toxins. It is highly effective at decongesting the nose and sinuses, while also helping to detoxify the upper respiratory system.
Shirodhara
Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic treatment that helps to improve focus, concentration and relaxation. After a gentle massage to the neck and shoulder areas, warm oil is poured in a steady stream over the forehead. This deeply calming practice quiets the mind and the senses, helping to improve mental clarity and comprehension.
Abhyanga and Shirodhara
This treatment combines Ayurvedic therapies to relieve neck and shoulder tension. The therapy begins with Abhyanga, a rhythmic massage that uses herbal oils to stimulate the circulation of blood, lymph and prana (energy). This is followed by Shirodhara, a treatment in which a steady stream of oil is gently poured over the forehead to improve clarity of mind. The aim of the session is to help you leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, with a renewed sense of energy
Marma Therapy
Marma therapy is a specialised branch of Ayurveda which cleanses blocked energy via light stimulation of the 107 points in the body. These hidden points are channels to access the body, mind, and consciousness. Vital Marma points are stimulated by the application of moderate to deep pressure using the fingertips; some vibrational techniques are also used.
