Description
$70 • 45 minutes
In Ayurveda, the human body is often metaphorically described as an inverted tree, with the roots representing the head and the branches symbolising the limbs. This analogy illustrates the flow of vital energy (prana) within the body, with energy moving from the roots (head) towards the branches (limbs). This analogy reinforces Ayurveda's holistic approach, where balance in one aspect of the body affects the entire system. The head contains several very important marma (vital energy) points that serve as gateways connecting the physical body with the subtle energy systems crucial for maintaining the flow of prana and ensuring overall well-being and showing how critical the head and neck region are to our physio-psychological functioning.

Process
The process of Shiroabhyanga, unfolds as a sequence of meticulously crafted steps designed to bestow relaxation, equilibrium, and well-being. Commencing with the creation of a serene environment, the warm herbal oil, infused with therapeutic properties, is prepared to a soothing temperature. The client is invited to be seated comfortably, and an introduction initiates the relaxation process. With a focus on the scalp, circular and rhythmic motions gently deliver the warm oil, invoking a sense of calm. Marma points are gently pressed to stimulate energy pathways, and the massage techniques extend to the neck and shoulders, releasing accumulated tension. This symphony of touch typically spans 20 to 30 minutes, concluding with a restful moment of absorption. A warm herbal tea helps to enhance detoxification and relaxation.
