We apply a dough wall to encapsulate the problem area. Medicated oil specific to the complaint is poured within this dough circle and kept warm. Once completed the dough is removed and oil is massaged into the surrounding area. The treatment is finished with a localised steam.

Champissage
Indian Head Massage balances the flow of energy throughout the body and induces a feeling of peace. The treatment is done seated and fully clothed and covers the face, head, neck, shoulders, arms and the upper back. The concentration of treatment around the upper part of the body allows the fascia of the head to release increasing blood flow. Increased mobility around the neck joints gives space to the parasympathetic nerve. This treatment can lower blood pressure and re oxygenate the brain alleviating many head problems. Fabulous treatment for those struggling with sleep.

Marma Massage
Marma points are described as essential l energy centres of the body, where the seat of Prana (life force) can be accessed. There are 107 of these points on the body. They can be found at anatomically defined intersection pints on the body - where joints, tendons, veins, arteries and bones meet.
