What happens in a session: You are seated or lie face-up on the treatment table while the therapist assesses the areas being worked on. Medicated oil or a herbal preparation chosen for your constitution is warmed to body temperature and applied to the scalp, forehead or face. The therapist works with slow, rhythmic pressure over the marma points, and the preparation is left to settle for the remainder of the session. You rest briefly afterwards, then a warm-water head bath completes the treatment.
Before you come: Come with a light stomach — two hours after a meal is ideal. Oil stays in the hair afterwards, so plan a wash and bring a change of clothing. Avoid washing your hair immediately before the session.
