Once I was diagnosed (too much Kapha-no surprise there!), I received a personalized herbal regimen and a series of panchakarma massage headachetreatment treatments aimed at prying the toxins from my body''s tissue. First was the abhyanga- a two-hour, over-all sesame-oil massage performed simultaneously by two technicians; next came the shirodhara, a slow stream of oil wandering to and fro over my forehead that set me afloat somewhere between sleep and waking. Sometimes I don''t know where people go with that one. (The only disturbing note was the basti, or herbal enema, that finished headachetreatment each daily session. If you headachetreatment find headachetreatment the notion off-putting, you''re not alone; but keep in mind that these treatments are optional-and given with a minimum of fuss or discomfort.) After two days of panchakarma plus daily yoga, I felt I''d entered the uncharted zones beyond relaxation-and could easily get used to the feeling. Fellow guests who had been here for several weeks, on longer detoxification programs, looked positively radiant. Evenings, we had lectures in the library, followed by delicious hot-milk toddies and chats with our fellow guests, then bedtime (officially 10 P.M.). Other offerings (at additional cost) included Ayurvedic astrological readings and a four-day course in TM. Videos about Ayurveda and TM were available for viewing. Although Raj and their staff are TM practitioners, we felt no pressure to study it.

Three specially trained technicians work with each guest, applying only the freshest and purest ingredients to give a truly royal and uniquely effective skin program. Pre-treatment procedures are not required with this program.

A gentle application of warm herbalized sesame oil is first applied to the skin. This not only helps eliminate toxins from the skin''s surface, but also protects the pores from becoming over-dilated during the steam treatment. Next comes a gentle steam bath. Specific herbs are added to the steam to promote cohesion between the cells. The steam carries the molecules of herbs to a deep level of the skin, restricting dilation, and pacifying the three doshas. Milk and Floral Waters. Bathing the face and body with special milk products and floral waters allows the tiny nutritious molecules of milk to lubricate the skin and to be easily absorbed without clogging the pores. These treatments not only balances all three doshas, they also pacify the aspect of Pitta that is associated with emotions - thus, promoting calmness, confidence and stability. Mud Treatments. Specific mud, which collects on large rock formations in remote regions of India during the rainy season and is then purified naturally by the sun, is used for these skin rejuvenation treatments at Our Company. Mud treatments alone inherently have a more cleansing and less nutritive effect, but the herbs and flowers used in the pH balanced mud have a high biological effect towards headachetreatment nourishing the skin.

Under the guidance of Ayurvedic skin care experts, Our Company offers treatments which can be traced back to the palaces of ancient India. This program creates balance from deep within the tissues, gently removing headachetreatment impurities while nourishing the skin with herbs, milk, and flower essences. Special muds imported from the remote hillsides of India help remove toxins without damaging delicate skin tissues. Beauty is more than skin deep. Many problems with skin and hair today are due to headachetreatment stress, environmental toxins, and accelerated aging caused by accumulated imbalances. The modern medical approach focuses on temporarily relieving symptoms, but not correcting underlying imbalances. The Royal Beauty Treatment Program at Our Company,transforms the internal functioning of the physiology to create radiant health, thereby addressing both inner and outer beauty. Our Company Royal Beauty Treatment program very gently reestablishes balance between all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) to create a lustrous complexion. When impurities in the skin are eliminated too quickly, the structure of the skin can be weakened. The Royal Beauty treatments simultaneously replace the impurities with nutritious molecules of floral water, milk and herbs.
