Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Ayurvedic Facial With Abhyangam & Shirodhara.

Sessions typically last 90-120 minutes including consultation. Expect a full Abhyangam massage, herbal facial application and 30-45 minutes of Shirodhara, followed by brief rest and post-treatment guidance for home care and aftereffects.

Yes; we customize oils and herbs for sensitive skin and perform pre-treatment patch tests. Inform therapists about allergies, recent reactions or medications so we can adjust pressure, ingredients or skip Shirodhara if needed.

Avoid heavy meals, alcohol and vigorous exercise at least three hours before treatment. After the session, rest, avoid harsh sun exposure and heavy skincare for 24 hours, stay hydrated and follow our therapist's personalized aftercare recommendations.

Pregnancy requires precautions: many therapists avoid Shirodhara in the first trimester and alter oil choices and techniques. Please disclose pregnancy early; we will recommend safe alternatives or a modified Abhyangam and facial suited to each stage.

For maintenance, monthly sessions support skin health and stress balance. For deeper rejuvenation or chronic stress, consider a series of 3-6 treatments spaced weekly or biweekly; your practitioner will tailor frequency to your goals.

Side effects are generally mild: temporary oiliness, light-headedness or sleepiness, and rare detox reactions like mild headache. Allergic reactions are uncommon; inform us about sensitivities. Contact the centre immediately for any severe or persistent symptoms.
