High above a mountain valley at sunrise, a rustic wooden table holds the tools of a traditional Ayurvedic apothecary: a granite mortar and pestle with freshly picked holy basil (tulsi), small wooden and brass bowls of dried herbs and turmeric, raw ginger root, a clay urn, stacked massage stones and a glass bottle of golden herbal oil.
Plant-Based Healing
Ayurveda, India's traditional system of wellbeing, has long turned to plants for balance and care. Herbs, spices and warm oils sit at the heart of its practice, used to soothe the body and calm the mind.
Herbs and Oils in Kynta Treatments
- Indian Abhyanga: time-honoured Indian techniques with herbal essential oils, to ease muscle knots and overall body fatigue.
- Ayurvedic Potli Massage: warm herbal compresses applied in circular or tapping motions, each herb selected for its own properties.
- Marma Head Massage: gentle pressure and warm herbal oils on 37 vital marma points of the head and upper body.
- Kansa Foot Revive Massage: warm herbal oils and a kansa wand to relax tired feet and stimulate marma points.
Quiet Luxury, Inner Balance
