Foot Soak + Gharshana Massage + Ubtan Polish + Abhyanga Massage
This luxurious, multi-layered treatment is simply an unforgettable pampering journey drawn upon the therapeutic traditions of Ayurveda and Western wellness philosophy, crafted to relax and revive from head to toe.
This majestic and tranquil spa experience is a sequence of three massages that serve to stimulate, detoxify, and balance the body and mind. Following a soothing foot soak, we begin with Gharshana, an energizing dry massage performed with raw silk gloves that exfoliate and refresh the skin. Next, we treat you to the ancient royal ritual of Ubtan, as we gently massage an all-natural blend of locally sourced clay, herbs, and minerals into the skin to cleanse, purify, and open channels. Finally, we rhythmically massage warm aromatic oils into your body during a profoundly nourishing, calming, and restorative Abhyanga massage. Emerge feeling lighter, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the world.

(Herbal Oil Treatment and Lymphatic Stimulation)
For those seeking the most healing, balancing, and transformative experience, this ancient Ayurvedic treatment is a feast for the doshas. First, we awaken your senses with Gharshana. Gharshana is a Sanskrit word meaning “dry-brushing.” Rooted in the ancient Ayurvedic healing practices, this stimulating massage features a dry lymphatic skin-brushing with raw silk gloves to:
- Exfoliate the skin
- Stimulate blood flow
- Increase circulation
- Promote lymphatic drainage
Exfoliating the skin in a traditional Ayurvedic sequence prior to oil application allows the oil to penetrate the skin deeper and truly nourish the body. We cover your body in warm, healing herbal oil for the Abhyanga. This Ayurvedic oil massage is an integral part of the lifestyle regimen recommended by this healing system for overall health and well-being.
Solavedi Organics Ayurvedic Facial Massage
60 minutes
$105
This exquisite massage is a profoundly calming treatment with restorative benefits that cleanse and nourish the skin and release tension from head to toe, beginning with the back. Warm herbal-infused oil is applied gently and rhythmically, creating space for deep relaxation and meditation. Between layers of aromatic herbal-infused lotions, masques and toners, warm steam towels envelope your face, and a massage of the scalp, neck, shoulders, hands and feet melt stress away. Hypnotic is the word that best describes this transformative massage, promoting radiance both inside and out.
Ayurvedic Hair Spa Treatment
60 minutes
$75
Stress and tension melt away during this nourishing treatment used to rejuvenate hair and skin. Traditionally, beautiful hair has long been associated with health and well-being. Ayurvedic herbs and oil treatments not only produce healthy, lustrous hair but can also bring peace of mind. At Five Elements, the Ayurvedic Hair Treatment begins with a warm medicinal Bhringaraj oil massaged into the scalp and hair, which works to improve circulation throughout the scalp while strengthening the roots of the hair. Bhringaraj oil cleanses impurities, improves complexion of the skin, and restores color and luster to the hair. While the oil lingers and works through the hair and scalp, a stimulating neck message releases additional tension. Your massage is followed by a relaxing blow-dry.
