Shodhana Karma Detoxification and Rejuvenation Treatment

Shodhana  Karma promotes healing and rejuvenation by removing environmental  toxins and stress by-products from the body so that vital and  regenerative energies can flow freely.

This  3-part treatment detoxifies and regenerates, while indulging the  senses with aromatic oils and exotic ingredients.

PART 1 Dislodging of toxins  from cells

Shodhana Karma starts with a  traditional footbath and a Mandala Signature Massage using cold-pressed  sesame oil, herbalized with Calamus root powder. The molecules  of cold-pressed sesame oil are smaller than those of our red blood  cells, so the oil is able to penetrate the blood stream, attract  oil-soluble environmental toxins, and dislodge them consequently  from body tissue. It aids effectively in the detoxification process.  Calamus root powder was highly praised since Mesopotamian and  Egyptian times, and is mentioned in the bible as an ingredient  to the holy anointing oil. Calamus strengthens the nerves, improves  energy and is said to be helpful during times of emotional exhaustion.

PART 2 Elimination of  toxins from the body

Following the massage is a sauna  ritual (swedana), which integrates several sauna cycles, aromatherapy,  and herbal tonics to further aid in the elimination of environmental  pollutants from the body through perspiration. Since ancient times,  the sauna has always been traditionally used as a sanctuary for  healing and regeneration. Through exposure to sauna heat, the  immune system is stimulated and the endocrine glandular functions  are regulated. Ginger, the universal medicine, is one of the main  ingredients in the preparation of tonics used in this endeavor  which also assists in detoxification. The Rosemary oil used in  the sauna water, on the other hand, has a stimulating and invigorating  effect.

PART 3 Purification of  the skin from toxins

Shodhana Karma closes with the  removal of the impurities through the Ubvartan springtime Body  Scrub - a gentle exfoliation process, using only traditional Ayurvedic  ingredients. The properties of the oil blend are chosen to balance  the emotions and to restore mental and physical equilibrium. Sandalwood  connects us to our soul, Geranium is emotionally balancing, Cardamom  alleviates hypertension, and Lemongrass is a kidney tonic.

Ayurvedic Medicine is an Indian  system of well-being as ancient as 5,000 years old.
 It espouses a holistic approach to health and is known for it’s  various approaches toward cleansing, detoxification, and purification.

Length of treatment is 2 hours  and 30 minutes.
