My quest for
an authentic Ayurveda abhyangam in the capital city led me to Kairali Ayurvedic Centre at Mehrauli. Tucked away in the bylanes this place may be difficult to
spot but the distance from the chaos of the maddening traffic turns this into a
peaceful sanctuary which is just what was desired. I entered an aesthetic lobby
and was met by the spa manager who quickly made me run through the procedure
and asked some general questions about my health.
Once inside you
are taken to a room to change into the required attire .The fragrance of
ayurveda soothed my senses. Abhyangam is
a 45 minute massage with two attendants
catering to you. A warm oil massage that
penetrates into the deepest layer of your skin and rejuvenates you deeply. I
was also given a head massage which helped me relax so as to undergo the rest
of the procedure. As the masseuse worked her way on my shoulders I could feel
those stress knots melting away. The hot oil relieved me of the usual aches and
pains that are the result of a hectic lifestyle. The oil is a concoction of
various herbs that works at deep tissue level and helps one destress. One of my
concerns was winter but the room was sufficiently warm , infact you feel so
comfortable that I didn’t wish to step out at all. This I not a fancy 5 star
spa, but an ayurvedic panchkarma centre,
hence the massage may be rougher but trust me it’s only for your own good. One
can tell the therapist to slow down if they wish to. This type of massage
technique stimulates blood flow and enhances one’s sense of well being.
The massage
was followed by steam, which helps the doshas
loosen up and aids detoxification. And this by shower with some herbal shampoo. On my way out I was offered some
herbal tea which concluded the super healthy
session.
They offer a
wide array of treatment packages that
comprises of different Panchkarma
technique and can help you slim down,
relax or treat those nagging aches and pains. All this starts from INR
1000/-
