Ayurvedic Massage & Treatments
Every Massage commences with a 15 minute Consultation. All massages use Organic Massage Oils and where appropriate, Organic Essential Oils customised to each clients specific needs. Anahata Therapies uses Nativa Organic Towels, Linen & Spa Wraps from India dyed with Organic Ayurvedic herbs under the guidance and prescription of Ayurvedic Doctors.
It is strongly recommended that a 10-30 minute relaxation and nurture be followed after a Therapeutic Massage.
Combines the art of stone bodywork with the ancient science of Ayurveda integrating the use of stones with traditional Ayurvedic Massage. The therapy is designed to nurture, sooth, warm, nourish and calm the entire person. Warm stones and crystals are laid upon the body following the ancient chakra system. Heated, textured, chilled and silky stones are glided, massaged, spun and edged along the body using warmed organic oils and essential oils specific to the individual dosha. Stones carry healing vibrations and magnetic qualities referred to as “Prana”. The healing energy of the stones is released through clicking and tapping of the stones as well as the use of sound vibration through crystal bowls, Tibetan bells & bowls, and drumming. This therapy can bring deep tissue release and alignment in body, mind and spirit. It is a very sacred experience and completely beyond just a massage. See our testimonials.
Whole body rejuvenation massage with Ayurvedic oils. In Ayurveda massaging the body with medicated herbal oils, is advised as part of daily life and ritual. Abhyanga increases immunity, providing energy and nourishment to the entire body. It nourishes all seven dhatus, balances the three doshas, cures disease caused by aggravation or imbalance in the doshas, rejuvenates the system, provides strength and virility, and removes stress and strain. Abhyanga also improves concentration, intelligence, confidence, esteem, youthfulness, relieves fatigue and related body aches, nourishes the skin and relaxes the body. We pride ourselves on the authentic and traditional use of copious amounts of warmed traditional organic Black Sesame Oil or specific medicated Dosha Oils in our Ayurvedic Massage, stimulating the energy flow of circulation. Massaging Marma points, as part of Abhayanga, promotes the centres of vital energy, enhancing its flow throughout the body and re-aligning the channels and centres of the body-mind.

(“Shiro”: Head, “Dhara”: Flow of Oil) An ancient technique in which warm medicated oil is poured in a steady stream over the forehead continuously while lying on a flat surface with the head back. The oil is poured very slowly between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the dosha followed by a gentle scalp massage. It is done in absolute silence offering the highest level of physical and mental relaxation creating a balanced state of the mind and body. Shirodhara soothes and invigorates both the senses as well as the mind. A total state of wellness and calmness is induced in the process. Benefits of Shirodhara include increased memory, concentration, stability of mind, sound sleep, reduced greying of the hair, reduced stress & headaches. It is recommended for hypertension, insomnia, asthma and hair problems.
Shirodhara must be performed subsequent to Abhayanga (Ayurvedic Massage) of at least 30min which is why this treatment includes a ½ hr Abhyanga Massage.
This treatment comes with a complimentary 1 litre Black Sesame Seed Oil (used in the Shirodhara treatment) and a Nude Beach Sarong to cover the head after the treatment.
This highly relaxing Ayurvedic foot massage uses specialized Ayurvedic oils to revitalize tired feet and stimulate body systems. Padabhyanga stimulates all the organs of the body with deep relaxation influencing the entire system. The feet are soaked in a Relief Foot Soak to prepare for the massage of the feet and lower legs followed by a foot scrub with Rasayana Detox Body Scrub. This is followed by an ayurvedic foot massage (Padabhyang) stimulating various marams or energy centres of the feet and legs, using a special foot blend. Padbhyanga improves blood circulation and fertility, reduces swelling and soreness in the lower leg and prevents dryness and cramps, relieves insomnia, nervousness and other conditions. The treatment ends with a hot compress on the feet and legs and a luxurious lotion applied to the legs and feet.
Enjoy the Abhyanga Massage with another in the same room at a specially reduced rate.
Pichu is one of the 5 oil therapies used in Ayurveda. The word "Pichu" denotes a fresh, unbleached, starch free cotton cloth saturated in warm herbal oil. This warm herbal oil saturated cloth is placed on a part of the body that is being healed for 1-3 minutes. This is repeated continuously for 35-45minutes. Pichu is highly effective for fractures, dislocations, degeneration and diseseases affecting cartilage, tendons, muscles, bones, soft tissue, disc, ligaments and nerves. Pichu can be performed on many parts of the body but is most effective on the neck and spine.
When the tissue is overused and under nourished, it gets depleted, and looses its elasticity and flexibility. Tightness or stiffness results and pain or discomfort follows. Tissue is irreparably damaged in many cases.
Pichu treatment relaxes and improves the circulation in the affected tissues with its warmth and the high potency herbal oil repairs and rebuilds the tissues, providing lasting results. Performed daily, for 5-7 days, many clients are free from complicated, musculo-skeletal pain! The full effect of the treatment is experienced within 8-12 weeks since it takes the body this time to assimilate the effects of the therapy and for the tissues to restore and respond. In advanced conditions a course is repeated every 3-6 months.
Its important to stay completely away from any strenuous activities during and for a week after these treatments. Also accelerate the healing with early to bed, light and early dinners and light activities.
This treatment includes the cost of the 2 litres of Ayurvedic herbal oil used in the 5 treatments.
