Treatments
Authentic Ayurveda. Personal Care. Lasting Relief
A Daily Ritual – A Lifetime of Balance
Abhyanga
At Kaivalya Ayurveda, Abhyanga is more than a massage — it’s a deeply therapeutic ritual rooted in the ancient texts of Ayurveda. As a key part of daily wellness (Dinacharya), this full-body oil massage is performed from head to toe, using warm herbal oils tailored to your dosha (body constitution).
This powerful therapy improves blood circulation, nourishes the skin, and promotes deep relaxation of the body and mind. Our experienced therapists use time-honored Kerala techniques, combining rejuvenation, skin care, and stress relief into one holistic experience.
Detox. Tone. Energize
With Udwarthanam
At Kaivalya Ayurveda, Udwarthanam is a specialized dry massage performed using herbal powders applied in upward strokes — against the direction of hair growth. This friction-based technique stimulates blood circulation, strengthens the muscles, and breaks down fat deposits naturally.
Ideal for metabolic imbalances and muscular weakness, Udwarthanam also supports detoxification and improves skin texture by clearing blockages in the body’s energy channels.
Medicated Steam Therapy for Deep Detoxification
1. Bashpa Swedanam
Bashpa Swedanam is a classical herbal steam treatment that promotes perspiration by exposing the body to medicated steam generated from boiling therapeutic herbs. Performed after an oil massage, this therapy helps in flushing out deep-seated toxins, relaxing muscles, and enhancing circulation.
Indications & Benefits:
- 🌿 Neuropathies
- 🌿 Obesity
- 🌿 Myopathies
- 🌿 Motor Neuron Disease (MND)
Deep Restoration for Spine, Joints & Muscles
Kati vasti
At Kaivalya Ayurveda, this therapeutic procedure involves constructing a dough-based dam around the affected area — such as the lower back (Kati Vasti), neck (Griva Vasti), knee (Janu Vasti), or chest (Uro Vasti). Warm, medicated oil is slowly poured into this cavity and allowed to stay for a fixed duration.
The treatment promotes circulation, reduces inflammation, and strengthens underlying muscles, ligaments, nerves, and joints. It is especially effective in managing chronic pain and degenerative conditions.
Let the Oil Flow. Let the Stress Go.
Sirodhara
Sirodhara is a deeply calming therapy where a continuous stream of warm, medicated oil is gently poured over the forehead in rhythmic patterns. Known for its profound ability to relieve stress, pacify the doshas, and nourish the nervous system, Sirodhara is ideal for promoting deep relaxation and mental clarity.
Nourish the Nerves, Balance the Brain
Sirovasthi
Sirovasthi is a powerful Ayurvedic therapy involving the retention of warm medicated oil over the head, enclosed in a leather cap. The patient is seated upright, and the cap — sealed with kneaded dough to prevent leakage — is carefully filled with lukewarm herbal oil specific to the condition.
This deeply relaxing treatment is known for calming the nervous system, improving brain function, and relieving conditions associated with stress, insomnia, and psychosomatic disorders. After the oil is retained for a designated period, a soothing massage is given to the forehead, neck, and shoulders.
Cool the Head, Calm the Mind
Thalapothichil
Thalapothichil is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy in which a thick layer of cooling, medicated herbal paste is applied evenly over the scalp — leaving a small central area uncovered. The head is then gently wrapped with medicinal leaves to seal in the therapeutic effects.
This treatment deeply nourishes brain tissues, soothes mental stress, and is highly effective in calming neurological imbalances. It is particularly beneficial for managing headaches, epilepsy, and psychosomatic disorders.
Still the Mind,
Strengthen the Spirit
At Kaivalya Ayurveda, Thalam is performed as a powerful mind-calming treatment that involves the gentle application of herbal medicines to the center of the scalp — specifically targeting the Brahmarandhra, the energy point associated with mental balance.
This therapy helps pacify the nervous system, reduces mental agitation, and supports recovery from emotional disturbances. It is highly beneficial for those experiencing insomnia, psychological stress, and mental fatigue due to lifestyle imbalance.
