Nasya – A FREE add on to any bodywork session. The Ayurvedic practice of lubricating the nasal passage. A few drops of specially formulated oil is dropped into each nostril. A relief from the dry Colorado climate.
Karna Purana- A FREE add on to any massage 90 minutes or longer. The Ayurvedic practice of ear oiling is deeply calming to the nervous system, loosens ear wax, and helps relieve Tinnitus (ear ringing). Special oil is dropped into the ear to block sound while your jaw, head, and neck are gently massaged. As you roll to the other side the oil simply drains out onto a tissue. It takes about 10 minutes each side.
Cupping- A free add on with any massage. From Chinese Medicine, Cupping uses small pressurized cups to pull toxins from within tissues and bring it to the surface. By bring this blood to a more superficial layer your body can more easily process and flush any un-needed chemicals out. It also aids in creating space between muscle and fascia layers helping relieve adhesions. It looks a bit odd, and typically leaves cup marks to varying degrees, but is not painful (think of when you sucked your arm as a kid and it left a mark).
