Ayurveda and the art of balance: discover our new massages

At Hotel Caesius Thermae & SPA Resort, ancient wisdom meets contemporary wellness. Our treatment menu now features four brand-new Ayurvedic massages, each crafted to restore harmony to body and mind.

Ayurveda, the science of life, teaches that three vital energies – the Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) – guide our physical and emotional well-being. When any of them falls out of balance, it can affect the body, mind, and mood. Because each of us is unique, our treatments and rituals are always personalised to restore harmony where it’s needed most.

And if you’re wondering why there are four massages for three Dosha types, the answer is simple: the fourth is a Tridosha treatment, suitable for everyone.

So, which energy needs to be calmed or stimulated to help you feel your best?
 

1. Vata: the anti-stress massage that makes you feel grounded

Perfect when you feel: nervous, anxious, or caught in a restless, overactive mind.

Vata governs movement. When it overflows, it brings restlessness. To restore calm, our massage combines warm sesame oil with slow, circular, gliding strokes, focusing especially on the back where the body’s nerve centers lie. The result is a deeply soothing, anti-stress ritual that has a calming effect on the nervous system and restores balance.



Why choose it: unlike a typical Western anti-stress massage that focuses mainly on muscle tension, Vata goes deeper, targeting the nervous system to ease anxiety, relax the body, calm the mind, and restore inner stability. You’ll leave feeling grounded and centered.

2. Pitta: the relaxing massage that refreshes

Perfect when you feel: irritated, overheated, inflamed, or when your skin is especially sensitive. 

Primarily composed of fire, Pitta leads to heat and irritability when in excess. To restore calm and cool the body, this massage uses gentle, delicate, almost caressing strokes with minimal pressure, combined with cooling oils such as coconut or sunflower.



Why choose it: the Pitta massage helps release excess emotional and physical heat that fuels irritability. Unlike a generic relaxing massage, this treatment restores freshness and deep calm – the perfect remedy when you feel overheated or stressed.

3. Kapha: the energising massage that drains excess fluids

Perfect when you feel: heavy, bloated, sluggish, or experiencing water retention.

Kapha is responsible for stability and fluids. When in excess, it slows down the body. To reawaken energy, this massage uses dynamic, deep, invigorating strokes, enhanced with warm, spicy oils that stimulate circulation.



Why choose it: unlike traditional Western massages focusing on lymphatic drainage and relying on very light touches, the Kapha massage is vigorous and dynamic. It goes beyond eliminating excess fluids – it unblocks stagnation, stimulates metabolism, and restores energy. The result: you leave feeling lighter and full of vitality.

4. Tridosha: where everything comes into balance

Perfect when you feel: the need to restore balance and harmony, without focusing on a specific concern.

Designed for all-round balance, the Tridosha massage blends the principles of all three Dosha treatments, combining strokes that are at once enveloping and calming, yet also invigorating and stimulating.



Why choose it: because it is the most comprehensive treatment you can give yourself. Unlike a generic massage, it blends targeted techniques from all three Doshas to create a profound sense of overall balance for both body and mind.
