Kitcheri is a term commonly used in India for simple food that has come from the kitchen. The benefits of eating Kitcheri once a day for breakfast, lunch or dinner is that it stabilizes and regulates our metabolism. This is a gentle internal Ayurveda cleansing process which reduces any ama (toxin) accumulation in our stomach, intestines and colon. Kitcheri is prepared over a 2 day period of sprouting and cooking using organic mung beans and Indian herbs. It takes only a minute to prepare your meal, vegetables can be added and it tastes great! A daily diet program of kitcheri is a recommended a 'stomach scrub'.

Kizhi (pronounced "kih/li") are five herbal seeds made into a bolus. The Kizhi treatment is the application of the lightly heated bolus applied as a dry rolling-rub over the entire body. It's purpose is to open the channels of your body and allow your prana (energy) to move freely. This is ideal preparation for Abhyanaga treatments so the absorption of oils are more effective.

Abhyanga treatments are a full body oil bath of medicated oils which balances your dosha-s, (vata, pitta, kapha) and brings them back to their rightful place. This aligns and strengthens your system so that 75% of your health issues reduce. We apply medicated oils by feeding you through your skin, which is your largest organ of the body.
