Ela kirzhi $110 with 1 therapist $220 with 2 therapists- 1 1/2 hour  A rejuvenation treatment from Southern India originally reserved for royalty
and the wealthy.  Pouches filled with herbs are soaked in hot, herbal oils and then gently swept
across the body.  The warmth allows the skin to fully absorb the herbal oils, enabling the
nutrients to reach all the cells, making possible the removal of accumulated waste products.  The treatment brings deep relaxation, quietness of mind and soft, smooth skin.  The blood is cleansed, the immune system is enhanced and new white blood cells are produced

Navarra Kirzhi  $275 2 therapist 2+hours This is said to be the original treatment from India that Mark Anthony sought for his Queen, Cleopatra.  This treatment uses herbal milk, seeds and medicated oils, giving the skin a softer, younger look and feel.  The herbs not only rejuvenate, they also tone and sculpt the body.  It is the most luxurious of the Siddha Vaidya rejuvenation treatments.  It can be performed by two therapists in synchronization, applying herbal oil, preparing the body with simple friction massage and passing herbal pouches lightly over the skin.  The warmth to the skin allows the herbs to be absorbed, increases the circulation and triggers the body’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes.  A more youthful and invigorated being is the result.  

Generally Kaya Kalpa treatments (sometimes called kriya karma) are done in a series of 3, 5 or 7 consecutive days, as they build on each other, however, if only one can be taken, it is still beneficial as it stimulates the rejuvenation process to begin.

Why are these treatments so effective?
Siddha Vaidya and Ayurveda use special herbalized oils and herbs that trigger changes in the tissues and organs systems of the body to bring balance and harmony to the overall system. The oils contain herbs called adaptogens that have been discovered to not only provide nutritional support but balance and modify systems of the body. These adaptogens, as they are called, will instigate a reaction in the body that is appropriate to achieve a state of homeostasis or balance. The reactions affect the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system, and blood pressure, among others.

Adaptogens are credited with these properties: helping the body adapt to stress, tending to
bring the body back to homeostasis, increasing protein biosynthesis, raising antibody titer after
immunization, elevating body enzyme synthesis, promoting general endocrine synthesis, improving mental ability, increasing physical ability, fighting free radicals, improving eyesight, increasing color perception, prolonging life span, being beneficial to cardio-vascular and respiratory systems, and improving non-specific resistance to various stressors like heat, cold, etc.
