off course

The outside of my room

This is the corridor outside my room which is first on the left. Today we started our programme. Our first set of treatments started with a head massage with sesame oil followed by a body massage with gallons of sesame oil. This was followed by a steam treatment - sort of hosing with steam to induce perspiration thus getting rid of toxins. A stream of milk curd poured over the forehead for about half an hour was amazing. Lunch was followed by Hriday Basti and Kati Basti consisting of large rings of a dough placed on the stomach and chest making a dam which is then filled with warm sesame oil. This as you can imagine requires great skill from the technician. Tonight after dinner we will be given another head massage with sesame oil then a large piece of cloth is dipped in medicated oil and placed on the head for 1 hour tied under the chin with a piece of blue gauge. Amazingly becoming as you can imagine. I might get brave enough to take a photo one night as this procedure happens every night.
