Pinda Sweda & Herbal Potli

Not purely for relaxation, pinda sweda & potli massage have been used in India as part of traditional ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to help rid the body of disease, improve circulation, relieve pain, reduce muscular tension and increase flexibility.

Pinda Sweda

This traditional cleansing ayurvedic massage treatment has been used for centuries as part of Ayurvedic healing.

 

Pinda Sweda is a form of sudation (sweat inducing) therapy designed to harmonise certain imblances in the mind and body. The pinda are handmade pouches containing cooked rice and herbs which are warmed by steam and used to infuse the muscles and joints with heat. Depending on your needs, the pouches will be created using different ingredients. This treatment works best when the body has been prepared with warm oil and massage and so can be added to a full body abhyanga for mind and body balancing.

Pinda sweda can be added to a full body abhyanga for balancing - £10

Herbal Potli

Potli massage uses potli, specially handmade herbal pouches containing detoxifying herbs. The pouches are handmade especially for your massage with freshly ground aijwain and ginger herbs contained in a 100% cotton pouch.

 

Following application of oil and massage, the potli are used to increase the flow of energy and circulation of blood and lymph towards the core of the body. The potli have an exfoliating effect too meaning dead skin cells are removed allowing your skin to be nourished and moisturised by the oils.

​

Not only does potli massage feel great, but the smell of the herbs and oils will help you to drift off to another world, fully immersed in your very own ayurvedic experience.
