Healing & Rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapies

The pressure & stress of our day to day busy lives is easily shown in our facial muscles. Without releasing this tension, certain thoughts and emotions can become habitual, locking into the expression of our faces.

The Aurvedic marmafacial massage not only helps to melt away this tension, but also makes your skin glow.
The essential difference between Ayurvedic Marma Facial and usual beauty facials is that, during Ayurveda Marma Facial – the Facial MARMA points, that are located over lymph nodes & joints associating our face to endocrine glands, are specifically massaged. Gently massaging these Marma points is believed to release the tension from facial muscles by improving lymphatic and blood circulation, resulting in visibly glowing, radiant skin.
