HIMALAYAN REJUVENATION TREATMENT

The Himalayan Rejuvenation Treatment is a two-hour service that is loosely based on Ayurvedic Panchakarma, a series of treatments that detoxify the body. These treatments are used as a general detoxification, usually received between the changing of the major seasons when the body’s immune system is working overtime (summer into fall and winter into spring). Aveda wanted to respect and use this ayurvedic wisdom, yet create a nurturing but effective spa treatment, so they crafted a treatment that used the pre- and post-Panchakarma procedures.

The Himalyan Rejuvenation Treatment has five steps:

It begins with a thirty-minute process that involves lymphatic and pressure point facial massage and a scalp massage combined with an inhalation therapy using essential oils to help open the breathing.

The next step is a dry exfoliation performed with exfoliation gloves; this helps prepare the skin for receiving the benefits of the massage oil.

Exfoliation is followed by a vigorous Ayurvedic-style massage that is designed to warm the body and prepare for the detoxification during the steam.

The fourth phase is a plant pure-fume steam bath, which utilizes a steam canopy over the massage table to warm the body, allowing impurities to be released through perspiration.

The final stage is a version of Ayurvedic Shirodhara called Relaxation during which a warm stream of Aveda Tranquillesence is poured onto the forehead for fifteen minutes. This treatment encourages relaxation of the nervous system.

The five phases of the Himalayan Rejuvenation Treatment lead one into the next to provide the ultimate in relaxation as the body and mind integrate, taking the client to a different level of self-awareness. Allow two hours plus a 30-minute relaxation period.  - $280
