Ayurveda Treatments
Ayurveda Treatments in Mullumbimby for calm and balance.
Ayurveda means “The Science of Healthy Living.” The World Health Organization recognises Ayurveda as the most ancient and wholistic health care system in existence, originating from India over 6000 years ago and rapidly gaining popularity around the world. Passed down as an oral tradition by the sages of ancient times, Ayurveda holds that a person is an expression of Universal Awareness and Consciousness, and that health is found through balance of body, mind and spirit.
At Mullumbimby Remedial Massage and Integrated Health, our Ayurveda Treatments are offered in a calm, welcoming space where care feels personal, grounded and unhurried. Rather than pushing the body, these sessions invite it to soften, settle and return to a more balanced state. Our clinic welcomes clients from Mullumbimby and across the Northern Rivers, including Byron Bay, Ocean Shores, Bangalow, Ballina and Lismore. Ayurveda Treatments sit alongside Remedial Massage and Liver Detox Treatments as one of the clinic’s equally important services.
What Ayurveda Treatments aim to do
Ayurveda Treatments aim to restore balance in body, mind and spirit and to prevent dis-ease. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Ayurveda looks at the whole person and investigates important contributing factors such as diet and nutrition, environment, emotional and physical toxicity, the seasons of the year and your individual constitution — Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Understanding your unique constitution is central to the Ayurvedic approach, and forms the basis of the personalised care we offer.
People may choose Ayurveda Treatments when they are experiencing:
- Ongoing stress, nervousness or anxiety
- Insomnia or disrupted sleep
- Digestive issues or hormonal changes
- Painful periods or low energy
- A sense of depletion, burnout or overwhelm
- General imbalance and a desire for restorative self-care
How Ayurveda Treatments fit within integrated care
In our clinic, Ayurveda Treatments are part of a wider integrated health approach. Some clients book them as a stand-alone treatment because they want deep rest and nervous system support. Others choose them alongside Remedial Massage or Liver Detox Treatments depending on what is happening in their lives and bodies at the time.
This flexibility matters because wellbeing is rarely one-dimensional. You may need targeted physical support at one point, then more restorative care at another. An integrated model makes room for that change without forcing you into a rigid treatment path.
A treatment space that helps you slow down
The environment of care matters. A restorative treatment does not begin only when touch starts. It begins when you enter a space that feels safe, calm and welcoming. We place value on creating a clinic atmosphere that supports this from the beginning. Clients are not rushed in and out. There is time to arrive, breathe and settle before treatment begins.
That sense of calm can make a real difference, especially for people who feel overstimulated by the pace of everyday life. Ayurveda Treatments are designed to support that return to steadiness.

Shirodhara — Stress, Insomnia and Anxiety
Shirodhara is one of Ayurveda’s most deeply restorative treatments. Warm herbal oil is poured over the forehead and third eye in a gentle, rhythmical flow, while head marma massage is performed both before and after treatment. The experience is profoundly calming and is especially suited to people who feel mentally overactive, anxious, sleepless or emotionally wound up.

Some of the benefits of Shirodhara include:
- Pacifying an overactive mind
- Rejuvenation of mind and body
- Bringing harmony to the senses
- Reducing stress, nervousness and anxiety
- Helping to treat insomnia
- Supporting those experiencing depression
If your mind rarely switches off, or if stress has been affecting your sleep and daily function, Shirodhara offers a rare opportunity to rest deeply and completely.
Abhyanga Massage — Nervous System and Lymphatic Support
Abhyanga is a form of specialised Ayurvedic massage using warm herbal oils chosen to your particular needs. This massage is nourishing and revitalising for both body and mind. It encourages the release of toxins from deep within the tissues, sending them to the gastrointestinal tract to be safely eliminated by the body. At the same time, it promotes blood and lymphatic circulation and brings relief to muscular tension.

Abhyanga is particularly suited to people who feel physically depleted, chronically tense or in need of deeper nourishment. It works gently but profoundly, supporting the body’s natural processes rather than forcing them.
Abhyanga Massage and Shirodhara Combo — Stress, Insomnia and Lymphatic Support
This package brings together the two most popular Ayurvedic treatments in one deeply restorative session. Abhyanga massage is performed first, using warm herbal oils to nourish and revitalise the body, encourage toxin release and support lymphatic and blood circulation. This is followed by Shirodhara, in which warm herbal oil is poured over the forehead and third eye in a gentle rhythmical flow.

Together, these treatments offer:
- Deep relaxation of body and nervous system
- Mind and body rejuvenation
- Harmony across the senses
- Stress, nervousness and anxiety relief
- Support for insomnia
- Lymphatic and circulatory support
This combination is ideal for those who want a complete restorative experience and the sustained benefits of both treatments working together.
Kati Basti — Sciatica and Lower Back Pain
Kati Basti is a specialised Ayurvedic treatment designed specifically for sciatica, lower back stiffness, pain and rigidity. Medicated warm oil is poured into a dam made of black gram flour, which is placed directly over the lumbosacral area of the spine. The warm oil penetrates deeply into the muscle tissue, providing deep relaxation and spinal pain relief.

Kati Basti may also assist with:
- Relief from constipation
- Period pain
For people who have been carrying lower back discomfort for some time, or who are managing sciatic pain that has not responded well to other approaches, this treatment offers a targeted and deeply soothing form of relief. You may also wish to explore Remedial Massage as a complementary option for broader muscular support.
