| Netra Basti |
| Washing the eye with medicated oils. It is an ancient treatment from India to relieve the tensions that are trapped in the eye socket that can result in poor eyesight, pain, fatigue, and that sunken, sallow look. Traditionally, this treatment is used to improve eyesight and nourish the nervous system via the eyeball as it connects directly to the eyes, soothes away wrinkles, enhances colorur and depth perception, creates a sense of ease and acceptance, and promotes a deep feeling of contentment. |

| Shirodara |
|
Shiro Dhara is the process of running a fine stream of warm Ayurvedic oils on the “third eye” area of the forehead for a period of approximately 45min a day for a period of 7 – 14 days according to the acuteness of the clinical condition. Classically, it was used for cases of pain and stress, particularly but not exclusively, in the face, head, neck, and shoulders. Stimulation to the “third eye” area affects deep centers in the brain that release brain chemicals; one of which is serotonin, a chemical that gives us the feeling of the pleasure and relaxation. It also frees the subtle energies of channels situated along the spine that help to calm and clear the mind. |
