Ayurveda

Applewoods is proud to introduce new Ayurveda treatments in Weston, FL. Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India. It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health. 

- a personalized approach to health, and knowing your mind-body type allows you to make optimal choices about all aspects of your lifestyle. -

Sirodhara

"Sirodhara" literally means continuous flow (dhara) on the head (sira). Just as the root forms the base of a plant so also in Ayurveda the head is considered the root of the body. Therefore, Sirodhara is of utmost importance in ayurvedic treatment. Medicated oil, medicated butter milk ,herbal extract etc; is allowed to flow as a continuous  stream  over the upper part of the forehead along with gentle massage over the scalp thus stimulating the pineal gland in the brain which produces serotonin and melatonin. These hormones play an important role in each person's emotional balance. The treatment may last for 30-45 minutes. It is highly effective for diseases of the nervous system and for emotional problems such as chronic depression, insomnia, loss of memory and anxiety (panic) attacks. It is also recommended for chronic headaches, as well as ear, nose and throat problems, and is especially useful for mental relaxation.

Foot Massage

It is done with medicated oils as a part of life style concentrating on the pressure points of the foot. It stimulates the internal organs and senses.

Pizhichil

This is a therapeutic process in which lukewarm medicated oil is poured all over the body in a uniform rhythmic way continuously in specific direction along with simultaneous gentle massages for 60 to 90 minutes. This treatment is effective for rheumatic diseases like arthritis, paralysis, weakness of muscular and nervous systems and sexual weakness.

• Place a sheet or towel over your head and breath up the vapor created from the water.   

• Take your favorite scent with you to work. Whenever you feel tired or stressed,  open the bottle and take a deep breath. 
• You can also dap the oil on your wrists, behind the ears and on the temples of your forhead.

2018 Nail Trends

We're here to help you decipher the coolest nail designs and tones of the season. 

Modern Blues

Don't be afraid to go a little out of your comfort zone. This design keeps it fun yet classy. Try it out on your vacation destination and we're sure the compliments will come pouring in! 

Orange Tones

All variations of this color are valid this season. We've seen this bold color all over fashion week and on celebrities. We love it that it honors Spring's natural tones and makes you feel lively. 

Metallic Ombre

If you loved the metallic trend from last year,  this a new take on it. Ask your nail technician to add a color that compliments the metallic tone near the tip of the nail. 

Nude Designs

We've saved our favorite for last. We're so glad to know the nude nail trend is still going and now we've seen it combined with whites! Everything about this nail look feels right. 

New Year, Better Skin

Lets start your skin on all new habits. A new year marks the perfect timing to implement new tips and tricks to make your skin look it's best. 

Our skin care experts at Applewoods, narrow it down to their top 3:

1. Sunscreen:

Dark Spots on the skin are one of the biggest challenges to correct. There are treatments to fix these however, it's always best to go the preventive route. Pick a sunscreen that is made for the face. Apply this every day and anytime after showering. Even those sunscreen that read waterproof, need to be re-applied. Another trick is to keep a sunscreen in your car. This way, you'll always be prepared. Our left side of the face normally receives more sun due to the side of the car we sit. Try focusing on that area the most. 

2. Pillow Case:

Your pillow case may be causing breakouts more than any other part of your daily routine. We seldom think about the amount of time we spend with our face on the pillow. Our skin estheticians recommend changing the pillow case at least once a week. Take into consideration the material the case is made with. Cotton or silk are the most recommended. 

3. Make Up Brush

This is probably something we all know but, sometimes forget to do. If you don't want to spend extra money on special soap, you can use baby shampoo or dish soap. These will protect the hair on the brush and draw out excess oil and dirt. Place them in an area where the sun hits it and once dry, put them inside a plastic zip lock bag. 

2018 Hair Trends

Flat Waves

Neither beachy nor bouncy, flat iron waves are the new curling iron waves. As seen here on Kendall Jenner, waves created with a straightener are more subtle and a little less  glam. Just create a bend in your hair by pushing it upward, then seal the shape with a few clamps of your iron. Release and repeat. Keep your ends straight for the most polished finish.

Ultra Long Hair Extensions

This sleek look borrowed from Cher has been seen on models, actresses and bloggers alike. It's a hair trend that will definitely be here for years to come. Permanent extensions are an option but, if you're not ready for that commitment, you can find some real hair clip on extensions. Either way, it's a sexy look day or night. 

High Pony

Practical and out of the face look that makes your features come out. Pair this with some fierce make up and statement earrings and you've got a winning look. 

Heatless Straight Hair Tutorial

No Straightening Iron needed!

Night In With Tulasara

Our new line of Tulasara products are the best companion for a night where you simply want to stay in and relax. 

Oils and natural essences that bring you back to balance. 

Our recommended steps for this night to yourself. 

1. Turn off your phone and any other electronic distractions. 

2. Light a few candles for your self in the area where you will be spending this time. (we suggest the bathroom as it is a secluded area where you're like not to be bothered. ) 

3. If you have access to a bathtub, leave some warm watering running. While it gets filled, grab yourself a cold cup of water and sprinkle some lemon water onto to it. You may also add sugar to the water for some sweetness. This lemon water will be a great way to balance the heat in the bath tub.

4.  Select 4 of your favorite essences or oils. Take the time smell each and decide on two (2) to bring in the bath with you. One, lightly pour 6-7 drops in the bath. The other you will dap on your wrists, behind your ears and in the temples of your forehead. 

5. Last step before getting into the bath tub, select songs that will relax you. Preferable ones without lyrics. Something soothing to allow your mind to distract itself with the melody so you may shut off entirely. 

6. Stay in as long as the water beneath you feels warm and simply enjoy this moment of peace. You may read if relaxing entirely seems difficult, but otherwise, just lay. 

Mother's Day is one of our Favorite Days of the year....

So naturally, we LOVE preparing goodies and packages that will make your mom feel as special as she really is.
