Ayurveda is a framework for all aspects of life. The first step is a personal consultation to create an individual treatment program. We take diet, remedies, supplements, exercises and routines and place them on that frame to see what the sculpture of a person's life looks like. Are things working for or against someone? Are they happy and feeling good about their bodies and their lives? This process makes it much easier to see how and what needs to change and why. Each person learns how to apply Ayurvedic principles to balance and optimize their health.

Consultation Develops Personal Treatment Program

A personal history and assessment provides the basis of a treatment program for health and longevity through Ayurveda. Consultation looks at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of a person's being. With a vision and knowledge of oneself a treatment program is laid out. We then prescribe diet, remedies, supplements, exercise and daily routines that will aid balance and prolong life. Read more

Panchakarma: Eliminate Deep-seated Toxins

Panchakarma is the detoxifying, purifying process that is the mainstay of Ayurveda. Panchakarma removes deep-seated toxins and promotes health and longevity. It is a one to four week process that includes many treatments. We offer retreat panchakarma (PK) from Spring through Fall, a 6 week PK class, see classes, 2 to 4 day PK or rasayana retreats and home PK. Give us a call at 541-535-7382. Read more about Panchakarma.

Herbs Embody Ancient Healing Science

Custom herb formulas are created based on consultation and individual needs. Each person has their own balance, and therefore everyone's needs are different. We use traditional Ayurvedic herb formulas, loose herbs, and individually made blends to help realign each client's body. These herbs have been used for 10,000 years to bring health to generations and nations of people. Read More

Abhyanga: the Healing Bliss of Oil Massage

Ayurveda massage applies dosha-based oils and herbs developed through thousands of years of traditional healing. Nervousness, stress and the tense energy of everyday life wash away as the oil flows. At all times, mantra, blessings, and invitations to the spirit ones bring many levels of awareness to a process that is already a wonderful physical pleasure. Ayurvedic massage uses marma (Sanskrit for “hidden”) points, where matter meets consciousness and prana (life force) is accessed. Read More

Detox and Relax with Svedhana

A steam treatment, svedhana, is one of the easiest and most beneficial ways to detoxify the body. The application of herbed steam is most often done to the whole body in a steam tent. At Ashland Ayurveda we have a beautiful tiled steam room, filled with warmth and aromatherapy. Joint issues, muscle tension, lack of sleep, stubborn skin problems and pain can be eased with steam. Svedhana can be done along with other treatments and most often follows abhyanga (massage). The herbs used during the massage move deeper into tissues with steam and therefore have greater benefit.

Shirodhara: Third Eye Oil Massage and Meditation "Training"

Here is a path to the deepest relaxation. A stream of warm, herbed oil flows on the forehead and third eye, taking with it the cares of a lifetime. This treatment, unique to Ayurveda, is beneficial to those with anxiety, nervous system disorders, and problems focusing. Shirodhara helps a person find the point of relaxation that is so optimal in meditation. Read More

Bliss: A Three in One Treatment Miracle

Do you have a morning or afternoon to spend in luxury? Bliss therapy is a combination of three treatments; abhyanga, shirodhara and svedhana. But don't rush to fit it in. This will last 2½ to 3 hours. First a glorious herbed oil massage, abhyanga, to loosen you up. Then, a stream of scented oil to your third eye, Shirodhara, to remember the spirit that is the real you. Finally, a trip to the steam room for thirty minutes of total relaxation. Bliss therapy with one therapist is $160, with two therapists it is Total Bliss for $195.

Garshana: Vigorous Exfoliating Massage

This treatment is done quickly, usually before a bath, a massage or steam. It is a vigorous rub with the therapist wearing silk gloves. It opens the skin (your largest organ), exfoliates, brings energy and flow to the srotas (channels). This enhances prana and aids in the removal of toxins. It is recommended that this is done daily as self-care but of course having someone else do it for you for $15. It is usually done with other therapies.

Nasya: Clear the Sinuses and Nourish the Mind

Treatment relieves allergies, sinus problems, mood imbalances and emotional upset. The nasal passages are the most direct root to the brain. This is obvious when a person realizes how quickly they feel better with nasya. Starting with a warm, fragrant oil face massage we touch all the marma points of the face. Herbed oil to the nasal passages and plenty of steam is next. Then, stir and repeat! Heaven. Read More

Udvartana: A Dry Invigorating Massage

Over weight? Poor circulation? Feeling sluggish? This ancient treatment is designed with you in mind. A healing combination of grains and herbs massaged in the direction of your heart to improve circulation and stimulate the dhatu agni, the metabolism of the tissues. It exfoliates too!

Udvartana helps to remove any kind of stagnation. Physically it exfoliates the skin, stimulates tissues and promotes circulation. It is energizing to a person emotionally and helps them move (on many levels). Although it has this moving quality it is also warm with the herbs and the earth of the grains so someone feels nourished and cared for. Followed by svedana (steam) this is an incredible treatment to experience. Cost for one therapist is $60, or with two therapists $80.

Lepa: A Medicinal Poultice

Lepas are a poultice or plaster that is made mostly with herbs. It can be used for painful areas, frequently joints, or where a drawing quality is needed. Sometimes clay, grains, some oil or ghee or milk is used in the mixture. Usually these treatments are done in a series for the best results. Lepa is a type of svedhana when done warm, as it causes slight sweating to the area; cost is $25 to $35.

Basti Basti: An Abundance of Bastis

In Ayurveda there are probably as many bastis as there are body parts. There are internal and external bastis. Bastis for eyes and knees and, and, and... At Ashland Ayurveda we do a few. Read More
