Welcome to the Ayurveda Experience at East Town Spa

Ayurveda, in Sanskrit, means the science of life or the art of longevity and vitality. It is one of the oldest and most comprehensive systems of wellness because of its synergistic relationship with nature, the seasons, and the cosmic elements that exist in all living beings. Ayurveda emerged in India over 5000 years ago and is considered the mother of all healing, even influencing Tibetan and Chinese medicinal systems.

This ancient system of healing is based on the 5 elements: Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.  The Five Elements explain why substances of the natural world are harmonious with the human body. We easily utilize plants, herbs, minerals, and water, because these substances are the same in composition and character to our own underlying make-up. 

Getting Started with Ayurveda Therapy

Abhyanga (Ahbee-yong-gah): $85 (50 minute Service)
Warm therapeutic herb-infused oil with muscle manipulation which combines gentle, swift and kneading strokes that balance energetic centers in the body and soothe the nervous system. The effects of this treatment are nourishing, it relieves fatigue; instills the body with stamina, and allows for an enhanced sleep. In addition, it improves complexion and luster of the skin while promoting longevity. 
Being that Abhyanga is the foundation to multiple Ayurvedic practices, a  modified level of this experience is incorporated into Marma, Udwarthana, Swedana and Shirodara services. 

Shirodhara Therapy (Shiro-dar-a): $140 (80 minute Service)
A continuous stream of warm herb-infused oil dripping over your head and scalp for an elevated state of relaxation. A gentle scalp and face massage follows this along with a full body oleation (Abhyanga) treatment to achieve an ultimate level of tranquility. This blissful therapy quiets the mind, relieves mental tension and calms the emotions, promoting mental clarity and comprehension. Can improve memory and/or insomnia. 
​
Swedana -- Herbalized Steam Therapy (Sway-da-na): $120 (80 minute Service)
This full body herbal steam treatment is an excellent compliment following Abhyanga. Swedana uses a specially-designed steam canopy which dilates the scrota (channels of various tissues in the body that supply nourishment while aiding in cleansing and waste removal), promoting the elimination of toxins by activating the sweat glands. The steam therapy helps soften and loosen impurities opening pores for better circulation. This purification method removes stiffness, heaviness coldness, and balances the subtle energies of body and mind. 

Udvarthana: Herbal Scrub Therapy (ohh-vwart-hana): $120 (80 minute Service)
This rejuvenating skin treatment both nourishes and purifies the body.
