Ayurvedic Face Reflexology

This treatment applies the principles of reflexology and ayurvedic massage to the head, face and neck with focus on the face. It helps give the face a subtle “lift” by aiming to free tension in the facial muscles and connective tissues helping to smooth out expression lines and improve the circulation of blood and lymph.

The first part of the treatment uses a variety of massage techniques without oil or lotion. The movements are slow and aim to soothe and relax tension. Next the face, scalp and ears which also have specific marma or energy points, are gently worked with warm herb infused sesame oil. Finally, the face is gently massaged using the oil and a bronze kasa wand. The wand is smaller than the bowl used on the body and feet. The wooden handle allows it to easily be applied to the face.

Because the scalp, ears, face, and neck are being worked this treatment may help with issues such as headaches, insomnia, and sinus congestion. Its deeply relaxing effects may be particularly helpful in counteracting stress.

Additional oil can be used in the hair if required as it is very nourishing if left on for a few hours after the facial.
