*if done in tradiontinal way it is not covered by insurance*Swedish Vs Indian
There are a number of differences but there are 2 main ones:
- Different oil is used in indian massages and there are many kinds of oil.
- The purpose of an indian massage is to get the medicine into your system, the medicine is the oil we use. With the friction and heat during a massage the oil can go deeper into the body to do its job
- We would use different kind of oil for different kinds of body types or doshas.
- The other difference is that there are no sheets covering the body as they would absorb all the oil (medicine).
- We can go full traditional and you just wear your underwear.
- Not Covered By Insurance if we go this way
- Or we can find some middle ground and still use sheets.
- We would discuss our options in person or over the phone.
- We can go full traditional and you just wear your underwear.
- Different oil is used in indian massages and there are many kinds of oil.
Process
A traditional treatment in India would be done by someone of the same sex and wearing your underwaer or a loin cloth, this is why it is not covered by insurance.
Here at Viveda we can still perform it the traditional way, we only have male therapist trained in this treatmetn for now though.
We would have an in depth conversation about your comfort and needs.
We can also give the massage with sheets covering but still using indian strokes, oil and rythm.

This massage is 30minutes long.
It is done with you lying face up on the table and the therapist sitting at the head of the table working on your face.
You can keep all your clothing on since we are just working the face/neck, we just ask that you dont have any necklaces or things around your neck.
It can be customized to what your needs and wants are for that session, but typically we massage the face, neck and ears during this treatment.

To focus on the head the best position is to do the treatment with you sitting in a chair and the therapist standing behind you working on your head, neck, shoulders and some arms.
An alternative is to do it lying face up if you cant sit for that long.
This treatment is better with access to your neck and shoulders so anything strapless works, can be your clothing or you will be covered with one of our sheets/towels.
Your hair will get oily and messy so be prepared for that. It is worth it!

You will have your head on a wooden headboard that will catch the oil.
The therapist will then move the shiro pot above your forehead.
Once ready we will begin to have the warm medicated oil slowly pour onto your forehead at a slow constant rythm.
The therpist will then begin to move the pot so the stream of oil goes across your forehead from side to side.
The oil will fall back into a cooker that reheats the oil.
The therapist then returns the oil to the shiro pot above your head and the process begins again.

With not only warm oil but also 2 warm medicated poultices you will feel the heat and get the herbs into your system.
This is one of the "deeper" (not pressure wise) treatments in Ayurveda so come prepared to feel the heat and power of Ayurveda.Process
We use spices/herbs and quickly heat them before adding them into the poultices. We would use different spices/herbs depending on your needs/goals.
We apply the oil to you and then massage you with the poultice first then with our hands/arms.

We can also show you how you can do this at home!Process
This is a 30minute treatment.
There is the Vasti doughnut style and a Pichu cloth style depending on what body area we will work on, but both achieve the same results.
We apply the the doughnut/cloth around the affected area. We then add lots of oil to the inside of the doughnut or on the cloth.
We keep it there for a few minutes to let it soak in.
We then take the oil away and add new warm oil and repeat this 3 to 5 times.
We take the materials away and do a 5-10 minute massage around the area.
We then wipe any excess oil away.
