Ayurvedic Treatments
Ksheeradhoomam
Medicated milk steam gently envelops your face and body, softening tension and nourishing the skin with a milky, herbal warmth.
Ksheeradhoomam is a specialized Ayurvedic steam therapy in which medicated milk, infused with potent herbs, is boiled and its vapour is carefully directed over the body or specific affected areas. The combination of milk's nourishing properties with the medicinal herbs creates a uniquely gentle yet deeply therapeutic experience. This treatment is rooted in the Ayurvedic understanding that milk (Ksheera) is a powerful vehicle for carrying herbal medicine deep into the tissues. The steam form allows the medicinal properties to penetrate quickly through the skin and into the Dhatus (body tissues), making it especially effective for facial paralysis, speech difficulties, and neurological conditions. During the session, you will be seated comfortably as the therapist directs warm, fragrant milk steam through a tube onto the affected areas. The sensation is gentle and enveloping, like being wrapped in a warm, healing cloud. The treatment is deeply calming and leaves the skin soft and luminous.
