This treatment combines western deep tissue massage and ayurvedic traditional herb bundles for stress relief. A nourishing treatment, it keeps the skin moist and helps comfort the joints with hot stones and warm oil, giving a therapeutic experience. A complete body massage, it helps in relieving tension and enhancing relaxation.
