Nasyam
Instillation of medicated oil into the nostrils after massaging and inducing sweating to the upper portion of the body from the shoulders. During this process the areas around the nose, neck, and shoulders are massaged continuously.

Ayurveda Back Massage (Kati Pichhu)
Pichu means padding or sponging. It is a unique therapy developed on the basis of the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. It falls in the category of Bahya Snehana (external application of medicated oils). Here a sterile cotton pad is dipped in Ayurvedic oil and placed over the painful joint or sore muscles in conditions like lower back pain, and degenerative arthritis like osteoarthritis of the knee joint or hip joint.
Indian Head Massage (Shiro Abhyanga)
Shiro Abhyanga is a Sanskrit term comprised of two words: Shiro (head) and Abhyanga (massage). Shiro Abhyanga essentially means a complete massage of the head, neck, and shoulders using Ayurvedic herbal oils. These are the areas that are most affected by stress, which is why Shiro Abhyanga is beneficial in reducing pain and stress in these regions.
