Reviews

What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

The doctor spent forty minutes asking about my routine before suggesting anything. The abhyangam was calm and unhurried.

Deepa S. · Sasthamangalam

I appreciated that they told me one therapy was not right for me yet. That built trust.

Varun M. · Kowdiar

Did the seven-day programme while visiting from Dubai. Everything was on time and explained clearly.

Questions

Before you book

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

Do I need a consultation before a massage?

Yes. Every therapy is planned by a doctor, who chooses the oil and checks that it suits you.

Should I stop my current medicines?

No. Never stop medicines prescribed by another doctor. Bring the list, and our doctor will plan around them.

What should I wear?

Anything comfortable. We provide a disposable undergarment, towels and a bath after oil therapies.

How long is a programme?

Seven, 14 or 21 days, as the doctor advises. Fees are given in writing after the consultation.
