AYURVEDA TREATMENTS

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Ayurveda and how does it work?

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old healing science from India that focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit using natural therapies, herbs, oils, and massage. At The Om Spa, our Ayurvedic treatments are personalized to your needs and dosha (body type) to promote true healing and relaxation.

2. What is Shirodhara and what are its benefits?

Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy where warm herbal oil is gently poured in a continuous stream over the forehead (third eye area). It promotes deep relaxation, reduces anxiety, balances the nervous system, and enhances mental clarity. Clients often report a meditative, trance-like state.

3. Is Ayurvedic massage different from regular massage?

Yes. Ayurvedic massage focuses on energy flow (prana) and uses warm, herb-infused oils specific to your body type. It’s more holistic than regular massage — addressing not just muscles, but also detoxification, energy balance, and inner peace.

4. What is Indian Head Massage good for?

Indian Head Massage targets the scalp, neck, and shoulders using warm oils and rhythmic strokes. It helps relieve tension, migraines, sleeplessness, and improves scalp and hair health.

5. Can Ayurveda help with stress or anxiety?

Absolutely. Treatments like Shirodhara, Indian Head Massage, and Foot Reflexology are specifically designed to calm the nervous system, promote grounding, and relieve chronic stress and anxiety.

6. What is the Ayurvedic Face Lift, and is it safe?

The Ayurvedic Face Lift is a non-invasive, natural facial rejuvenation technique using oils and massage to tone facial muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce fine lines — with no downtime or chemicals.

7. What is the Himalayan Kansa Bowl Massage?

This unique treatment uses a Kansa metal bowl (made from copper, tin, and zinc) to massage the body with circular strokes and warm oils. It promotes detoxification, reduces inflammation, and leaves the skin nourished and balanced.

8. Are these treatments safe for first-time spa visitors?

Yes. All Ayurvedic services at The Om Spa are performed by trained therapists using gentle, natural techniques. You’ll also receive a brief consultation to choose the most suitable therapy for your needs.

9. Can I combine Ayurveda treatments with other spa services?

Absolutely! Many clients combine Ayurvedic massages with facials, infrared sauna, or aromatherapy for a fully holistic wellness experience. Our team will help you customize your visit.

10. How should I prepare for an Ayurvedic treatment?

Arrive well-hydrated and wear comfortable clothing. Avoid eating a large meal 1–2 hours before your session. Afterward, we recommend resting and allowing the oils and effects to integrate for a few hours.
