Nasya
Nasya is the classic Ayurvedic sinus and nasal treatment designed to open the channels of the upper body to allow more Pranic energy to enter. It is a wonderful treatment to strengthen the body against colds, flu and allergies. It includes a wonderful enlivening head massage, herbal facial steam, and a variety of nasal decoctions.
Netra Tarpana
Netra Tarpana, also called the "golden vision" treatment, enhances eyesight and relieves dry, red and itchy eyes. There are several methods on bathing the eyes in soothing decoctions and purifying them using herbal smoke which you will learn.
Karna Purana
A treatment to tonify the ears and support proper hearing. Using a specific ear massage and the applications of herbal decoctions into the ear, one can improve the hearing, relieve ear aches and other ear related problems.
Localized Bastis
Localized Bastis are applied to several key areas of the body - such as the heart, thyroid, low back, navel, etc. Medicated oil is applied in conjunction with pranic healing to balance the chakras, organs or nourish specific areas of the body.
Gandusa
The holding of medicated liquids in the mouth, to enliven and refresh the senses.
