Ayurvedic Detox Massage Treatments

 Ayurveda is holistic approach to health and wellness aimed at returning the body, mind and spirit to their natural state of balance. The word is translated as the “science,” or “knowlege of life.” While this method for achieving optimum health was developed in India over 5,000 years ago, its practical guidelines and effective treatments for restoring balance and vitality are as important today as they have ever been.

Ayurveda has long been considered Yoga’s “sister science.” The two have been practiced together throughout the ages as perfect compliments to one another. Ayurveda provides us with the tools for Self-Healing, while Yoga gives us the tools for Self-Realization.

Integrating Ayurvedic healing therapies and teachings into the Omaha Yoga School was a natural evolution. It has always been our belief that true healing incorporates body, mind and spirit. Yoga mirrors Ayurvedic practices in that both teachers and healers "hold space" for people to discover their own inner guide and ultimately heal themselves.

A

Doshas and the Five Elements

Ayurveda uses the concept of “doshas” to describe a person’s constitution and target imbalances. Each person is comprised of a unique combination of the five elements, Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Your dosha is determined by the ratio of these elements within you. Many people are a combination of two doshas.
+Vata Dosha
is comprised of Air and Ether. It controls all body movements and is rooted in the nervous system.
+Pitta Dosha
is comprised of Fire. Pitta controls the body’s balanace of kinetic and potential energies.
+Kapha Dosha
is comprised of Earth and Water. It is the principle of potential energy and it controls the body’s stability and lubrication.

yurveda has brought lasting health and wellness to millions of people throughout the ages. It is recognized by the World Health  Organization and is currently used by 70 – 80% of the Indian population.

 Ayurvedic Consultations and Treatments

These deeply purifying treatments are designed to help loosen and release toxins from the body. They effectively restore balance to the organs and tissues, calm the mind, and help to re-establish our natural state of health, happiness, and an inner sense of wellbeing. Herbalized oils carefully prepared to target your individual imbalances make these treatments soothing, yet powerful and uniquely effective.

Abhyanga – Garshana (Oil Massage and Exfoliation)
This full body treatment begins with a soothing head massage followed by dry lymphatic brushing with a silk glove and an individualized herbal oil massage. The brushing (garshana) increases circulation and exfoliates the skin so that the herbal oil can penetrate deeply. The massage (abhyanga) nourishes the skin, helps release toxins from the tissues, stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, and relaxes the mind and body to support overall healing.

Shirodhara (Pure Bliss)
A deeply relaxing treatment in which warm herbal oil is poured in a gentle stream over the forehead. This therapeutic treatment begins with a soothing head massage and ends with a period of silent restorative rest. Shirodhara calms the nervous system and synchronizes brain waves allowing for a profound release of stress and tension. Shirodhara enhances blood circulation to the brain, relieves insomnia, improves memory and nourishes the hair and scalp.

Abhyanga – Swedhana (Oil Massage with Herbal Steam)
After your herbalized oil massage, you will relax on the table while a light tent is placed over you. Your head remains cool outside as the tent fills with steam (swedhana) infused with special herbs to help further loosen and release toxins from the body.

Vishesh (Ayurvedic Deep Tissue Massage)
An individualized herbal oil massage which uses more pressure than abhyanga to break up adhesions in the tissues, stimulate circulation and assist the release of toxins from the body. When circulation and energy flow are restricted by blockages, tissues and organs become starved of fresh oxygenated blood and vital energy (Prana). For certain body types and imbalances this is an essential therapeutic approach for maintaining overall health.

Nasya (Ayurvedic Therapy for Head, Neck and Sinuses)
An important treatment for those who experience chronic head and neck ailments. The treatment begins with an invigorating head, neck and shoulder massage, followed by a soothing facial lymphatic massage. Aromatic steam is applied to the face and then herbalized nose drops (nasya) are administered. This ancient treatment is designed to help balance, clear impurities, open the sinuses and stimulate proper flow of energy and circulation within the head and neck region. It is a wonderful treatment for those who are subjected to environmental irritants, pollutants and excess sensory stimulation, as well as those who experience chronic allergies, headaches, asthma, and eye strain.
