Traditional Indian Treatments
The spa at Oberoi Hotels offers various traditional Indian treatments. Some of the traditional Indian treatments are listed below.
Synchronized Massage (2 therapists)
This massage is performed by 2 therapists to maintain the symmetry of the body. Using synchronized rhythmic movements, herbal oils are anointed on the body starting from the head to the toes. This massage assists the flow of energy through the body and promotes relaxation.
Ayurvedic Massage
This traditional Indian massage therapy uses a combination of soothing and symmetrical long strokes to regulate the circulatory and the nervous systems.
The sesame based herbal oil used in the massage heightens concentration and leaves one feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Dry Herb Invigorating Massage
This dry treatment starts with deep manipulation of the muscles, followed by a brisk, frictional massage with Ayurvedic herbs, which leave the skin glowing. Rhythmic strokes towards the heart promote blood circulation besides reducing obesity and improving mobility of joints. The therapy ends with 15 minutes of steam.
Sand Bundle Massage
This massage starts with oleation followed by dry fomentation using small linen bags filled with sand. The massage relieves stiff or swollen joints.
Marma Therapy
A healing therapy with specialized pressure point manipulation of the Marmas or the vital energy points of the body, promotes a feeling of complete physical and mental well being and centeredness.
Shirodhara
Rhythmic trickling of warm herbal oil over the forehead is believed to awaken the third eye, which in turn triggers a healing process, restoring good health. This treatment is particularly calming and soothing to the mind as well as the senses. A complete sense of wellness is induced.
Takradhara
Like Shirodhara, this therapy has a calming effect, induced by the thin, steady stream of herbal medicated buttermilk on the forehead followed by a gentle scalp massage.
Chakra Head & Shoulder Massage
This rejuvenating massage covers the shoulder, scalp and the face and is followed by moist fomentation. This massage concentrates on the vital energy points and provides relief to the sensory organs.
Aromatherapy Face Massage
The facial muscles are gently stimulated with mild aromatic oil, concentrating on the Marmas or the vital energy points. This relaxes the facial muscles and leaves the skin supple, glowing and rejuvenated.
Katee Vasthy
This specialized treatment relieves lower back pain due to stress and poor posture. Warm herbal oil retained in the lower back using a traditional technique followed by a back massage eases accumulated stress and strengthens the muscles of the lower back.
