A short guide to our Ayurveda therapies

Six traditional therapies are offered at AyurGem Ayurveda, our spa on the hill. If the names are new to you, here is what each one means in the Kerala tradition.

Abhyanga

A full-body massage with warm oil, given in long, unhurried strokes.

Sirodhara with Sarvanga Abhyanga

A steady stream of warm oil poured over the forehead, paired with a massage of the whole body.

Sirokarma

The family of Ayurveda treatments for the head, in which warm oil is applied to the scalp.

Padabhyanga and Siro Abhyanga

A foot massage with warm oil, and a head massage worked slowly into the scalp. Both fit easily into an afternoon.

Ayurveda aroma therapy

A gentle massage with aromatic oils.
