Sometimes to find something new, you need to search the past. Such is the case with the Ayurvedic practice of Dosha balancing, which has been around for 5,000 years and still leaves lasting impressions. In a continued effort to bring more specialized self-care to their clients, more spas are adding Dosha-specific treatments to their menus. Here are five unique ways to cater to the three types of Doshas: Vata (air), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (Earth and water).
DOSHA BALANCING
The Dosha Balancing (50-minutes, $149) offering at âme Spa & Wellness Collective at Turnberry Isle Miami is a classic Ayurvedic massage featuring oils customized to the client’s constitutional needs and elemental makeup.
“It’s performed with warm herbal-infused Ayurvedic body oils. The Dosha –specific oils are chosen for your body type and prepared in traditional Ayurvedic methods through warming without losing the potent healing properties of the herbs. A warm herbal massage helps to detoxify and nourish the nervous system,” says lead massage therapist Albert Khersonskiy.
