Sarvangadhara Ayurvedic Therapy
A continuous stream of healing that quiets the mind, nourishes the body, and restores the rhythm of life

The Meaning of Sarvangadhara
Derived from the Sanskrit words Sarva (entire body) and Dhara (uninterrupted flow), Sarvangadhara is one of Ayurveda's most treasured therapies.
It is more than the pouring of herbal oils — it is the art of channeling medicine, rhythm, and touch into a living current that washes over the body, carrying away stress, tension, and imbalance.
At Nandi Ayurveda, Sarvangadhara is performed with clinical precision and soulful intention. Each session begins with a consultation, where our physician prescribes warm medicated oils, herbal decoctions, buttermilk, or medicated milk depending on your dosha imbalance and health needs.
Types of Sarvangadhara & Their Purpose
The demands of modern living — erratic schedules, mental stress, overuse of technology — gradually disturb the body's Vata dosha, which governs movement, nerve impulses, and circulation.
