How We Guarantee Quality

• Hygiene and oils: fresh linens, single-use consumables where required, food-grade herbal oils.

• After-care notes: simple routines you can continue once you leave.

• Sustainability: reef-safe products on the coast, refill water, minimal plastics.

Core Therapies Explained

• Abhyanga
  Warm herbal oils applied with long strokes to relax muscles, support circulation, and prepare you for steam or a warm bath.

• Shirodhara
  A steady, warm oil stream over the forehead that many guests find deeply calming and sleep-supportive.

• Steam or herbal bath
  Helps the oils absorb and eases stiffness.

• Nasya and localised treatments
  Light nasal oiling, poultices, or compresses if prescribed for head, neck, or joints.
