Rejuvenating and restorative treatments are designed to reduce stress and anxiety, eliminate toxins, balance and tone your body, calm your mind, and nurture your spirit. Rasayana establishes wellness in the body by releasing emotional tension and physical discomfort and creates a foundation of wellbeing and stability in physiology.
