Ayurveda Wellness

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life

Ayurveda (eye-yer-VAY-duh) is a 5,000-year-old system of holistic healing rooted in India’s Vedic traditions. At Very Well KC, we offer traditional Ayurvedic body therapies, energy balancing treatments, and personalized wellness consultations to help you reconnect with your natural rhythms and feel like you again—rested, radiant, and deeply grounded.

This isn’t just a “spa treatment.” It’s a return to harmony, one warm oil drop at a time.

What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda means “the science of life,” and it’s all about balance—balancing your body’s elements (called doshas), your digestion (agni), your energy, and your connection to the world around you. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Ayurveda honors your unique constitution, or prakriti, and supports long-term wellness through touch, ritual, herbs, food, movement, and deep rest.

Ayurvedic Body Therapies We Offer:

Abhyanga

A grounding full-body treatment using warm herbal oils tailored to your dosha. This deeply relaxing therapy nourishes the skin, supports the lymphatic system, and calms the nervous system.

Shirodhara

A slow, steady stream of warm oil poured across the forehead (third eye). This deeply meditative therapy soothes mental overactivity, sleep disturbances, and emotional burnout.

Marma Therapy

Like acupressure meets Reiki, this gentle treatment works on subtle energy points to clear emotional and energetic blockages and restore flow.

Churna Pinda Swedana

This stimulating treatment uses warm herbal poultices to increase circulation, loosen stagnation, and promote detoxification—great for sore muscles or Kapha imbalances.

Nasya + Ear Oiling (Karna Purana)

Gentle administration of warm oils into the nasal passages and ears to clear sinuses, calm the mind, and support sensory clarity.

Ayurveda Health Consultations

Want to dive deeper? During an Ayurveda Health Consultation, we’ll explore your unique doshic constitution, digestive fire, lifestyle, and current imbalances (vikriti) to create a personalized wellness plan.

Consults may include:

  • Diet & daily routine guidance (dinacharya)

  • Herbal recommendations

  • Lifestyle shifts to support sleep, stress, energy, and mood

  • Self-care rituals based on your dosha

  • Movement and breathwork suggestions

  • Optional pulse or tongue analysis
