Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Ayurvedic Facial With Abhyangam & Shirodhara.

You begin with a consultation, followed by full Abhyangam massage, herbal facial application and mask, then Shirodhara oil flow to the forehead. Sessions include gentle pressure, aromatic herbs, and a calm environment; expect deep relaxation and light post-treatment oiliness.

Typical sessions last 75 to 90 minutes, allowing time for consultation, full-body Abhyangam, herbal facial treatments and Shirodhara. Longer or shorter appointments can be arranged based on individual needs and therapist recommendations.

Most adults seeking relaxation, skin rejuvenation or stress relief benefit. Inform us of pregnancy, pacemakers, recent surgeries, chronic illnesses or skin infections; some conditions may require modified techniques or medical clearance before treatment.

Contraindications include high fever, contagious skin conditions, acute infections, uncontrolled hypertension, recent head injuries, or early pregnancy. Discuss medical history during consultation so therapists can adapt or recommend alternatives for your safety.

Avoid heavy meals, alcohol and intense exercise for a few hours before your appointment. Arrive clean-faced, bring a list of medications and arrive early to complete health consultation and relax before treatment.

Rest and hydrate after treatment, avoid hot showers, sauna or vigorous exercise for 24 hours. Use gentle skincare, stay out of direct sun and follow any herbal or oil care instructions provided by your therapist.
