On your first authentic Ayurvedic massage in India, you will receive a custom herbal oil application warm-rubbed over your full body on a traditional wooden table (Droni), followed by warm steam or hot towel compresses. Unlike western spa massages, Ayurvedic massage uses generous amounts of medicated oils tailored to your body type.
