Within the pristine Shillim Valley lies an approach to luxury massages and wellness unlike any other. At the Dharana Wellness Retreat in India, Vanaushadhi – ‘The Gifts from the Forest’, is a unique remedy to the body’s general wear and tear, aging, and skin health. Conducted as a Personalized Wellness Ritual, a Vanaushadhi Treatment utilizes essential oils to massage the body, healing it as well as relaxing the mind.
Providing a quintessential Luxury Wellness Retreat experience, the essential oils utilized are crafted fresh, with recipes developed by the Dharana Retreat’s resident experts. Respected as ‘natural gifts’, the ingredients are curated and sourced from the in-house organic farm as well as the surrounding Shillim Flora. Herbs, Medicinal Plants, Honey from Local Hives as well and freshly prepared Ayurvedic Powders all come together to provide a unique, aromatic, and truly individualized experience.
The benefits of a Vanaushadhi Wellness Ritual, from its relaxing, tension-relieving experience to healthier skin, develop in a significant way due to essential oils. Researchers S. Wilkinson and colleagues’ analysis of the impact of essential oils, when utilized in a therapeutic massage for cancer patients, shows an enhanced effect of the massage, improving physical and psychological symptoms along with quality of life. Further benefits are studied by researchers A. Okamoto and colleagues, namely, a genuine improvement in an individual’s depressive state due to consistent essential oils aided massage therapy.
The Dharana Wellness Retreat in India utilizes two unique and curated Vanaushadhi Wellness Rituals in its Goal-based Wellness Programmes, these are –
