The scrub (Udawartana) – Ayurvedic body exfoliation

160 min - $215 with Serenity Soak (morning appointments only)

As we age or experience sun damage, the skin’s natural ability to shed dead cells slows down. This leads to a constant build‑up of rough, dull skin, making the skin uneven and older‑looking. The simple answer is to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!

In Ayurveda, body exfoliation is an integral practice for health and well‑being. The entire body is gently scrubbed to remove dead skin, particularly beneficial during the winter months when dryness is most pronounced. Regular exfoliation clears away hardened layers of skin, revealing the soft, healthy skin beneath.

Vasti (Localized Oil Retention Therapy) - 45min $45

Vasti is a specialised Ayurvedic therapy in which a small well is created over specific parts of the body to retain warm herbal oil.

At Anarga, we focus on three key areas for Vasti:

Kati Vasti – applied to the lower back
Greeva Vasti – applied to the upper back
Janu Vasti – applied to the knees

As the warm oil is retained in these localised wells, it deeply nourishes the tissues, improves circulation, and provides lasting relief from discomfort. Vasti is especially beneficial for those experiencing joint stiffness, muscular tension, or back pain, offering a restorative way to regain mobility and ease.
