This ancient Ayurvedic treatment is a wonderful relaxing health-care modality, which balances the body, mind and spirit. This treatment involves the spine and the feet, with particular emphasis on marma points, chakras, prescribed movements with a special metal bowl, and simple massage techniques. This soothing session leaves the entire body cool, refreshed and relaxed.

It offers many benefits: it nourishes the skin, improves blood and lymph circulation and soothes the agitated mind. It relaxes the muscles of the feet and the legs and it can also help to alleviate stress, including anxiety, nervousness and depression.

In the Ayurvedic tradition, foot massage is said to balance the bodily humors, or doshas — vata, pitta and kapha.

The Head massage works on rebalancing energy in the marmas, chakras, and energy meridians. It may improve brain function, like intellectual and mental faculties, and improve the senses (eyesight, hearing, etc). It stimulates the glymphatic system of the brain and nerves (detox), and increases crucial lymphatic flow in the neck and face area. Also great for hair growth and may reduce greying.

With the Face massage, the skin is revitalised and rejuvenated (facelift), the deeper cells of the face and lymph ducts benefit, creating a healthier, more vibrant person. The sinuses also benefit and drain easily.

This treatment uses a specific Ayurveda metal bowl together with constitution-specific facial oils, and results in deep relaxation, a rejuvenated youthful face, and mind-body revitalization!

When Merupada (the spine & foot massage with bowl) is combined with Shiromukha (head & face massage) a deeply relaxing effect occurs which shows on the face as a youthful appearance. In Ayurveda, stress increases vata dosha which leads to drying, wrinkling, etc. Both these techniques are designed to be grounding and de-stressing, hence reducing vata in the client.
