Basti Treatments
For this treatment we use a dough made from black lentil flour to form a swimming pool against the body part we are concentrating on (this photo shows mid back but it can also be used for lower back, neck, shoulders and knees). We fill the pool with warmed oil, sesame or medicated, and after 20-25 minutes we take it off and perform a massage over the area. This is then followed by a steam treatment.
The concentration of warmed oil in the one place allows for it to seep into the muscles and really loosen up the area, making the massage more effective. |

The steam treatment that follows helps the oil move into the tissues, promotes sweating which helps to clears out the pores, and warms the area thus promoting circulation & detoxification. It also softens both muscle tissue and skin ... and it feels great!
Allowing 75 minutes for full treatment for $95, you will notice the difference between this and other forms of massage.
