New doors are opening at Green Door Holistics!
I have some exciting news! Green Door Holistics is expanding its list of services to include BODY THERAPIES!!!
Beginning in September, GDH will be working one day out of the week (Thursdays) at the Dixon Chiropractic & Wellness Center to provide the following:
Abhyanga - This traditional method of applying warm medicinal oils to the body is a great therapy to pacify Vata and/or Pitta dosha. GDH will be partnering up with Norma Hernandez, LMT to provide 4-handed therapy sessions. If you are a client of GDH and have gone through your initial consultation, the oils used for your abhyanga session will be infused with herbs and/or essential oils according to your dosha.
Shirodhara - One of the most profound therapies in the Ayurvedic tool kit. Shiro means "head" and dhara means "flow". This therapy involves the pouring of warm oil over the forehead and 6th chakra (aka "ajna" or "third eye"). Great for anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, and other metal disorders, Shirodhara can provide profound relief.
Svedana - aka Swedana, this sanskrit term is derived from "swid", or "to sweat or perspire". During a Svedana treatment, a canvas tent is placed over the massage table and filled with herbal steam. Used in conjunction and following an abhyanga, a Svedana is beneficial to promote the release and removal of the medicated oil. This detoxifies the skin leaving you feeling lighter and refreshed.
Nasya - involves the application of medicinal oils to the nasal passages. Fomentation, followed by superficial friction helps to stimulate and open up the sinuses and nasal passages. Medicated oils are then applied through the nose to further clear sinus congestion and clear toxins. Nasya helps to alleviate allergies and promotes a healthy olfactory system for a better sense of smell.
Book your appointment now here. You may also find more information on our Body Therapies page.
Keep in mind that if Dixon Chiropractic & Wellness Center is closer to you, GDH will also accept appointments for Consultations and Follow-up Visits.
We hope to see you soon!
Be well.
