Six sleep-inducing therapies to try across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai
This one's for all the tired, nocturnal birds.
Once a necessity, now a luxury, sleep seems to be the one thing everyone craves, but can’t quite fit between their third cup of coffee, 101 unread emails, and, of course, endless scrolling. Sleep isn’t for the weak anymore; it’s reserved for the lucky few. The result? A demand for sleep-inducing techniques and products that promise sweet dreams like no other.
Sure, the magnesium supplements, melatonin strips, and chamomile teas work their magic, but among these lie treatments and therapies that offer a more long-term and structured approach to getting the right amount of ZZZs. Considering sleep is the linchpin to healthy living—weight, productivity, functionality, mental health, and digestion—it’s only fair to give it the importance it most definitely requires. So, lay off the laptops, set your phones aside, and enter a world that slows your body down. Here are six sleep-inducing therapies that promise to leave you feeling well-rested and relaxed.
PEMF & Negative Ion Therapy, The Wellness Co
Using a combination of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and negative ion exposure, this treatment helps reset the nervous system, improves heart rate variability (HRV), and regulates melatonin, making it especially effective for stress-related sleep issues. Three to four sessions per week are usually recommended, but noticeable improvements often don't appear until after five to seven sessions.
Alternatively, The Wellness Co also offers Red Light, Hyperbaric Oxygen, and IV therapy, all of which are also known to help with sleep. They can create customised programmes that integrate Red Light, HBOT, PEMF, and IV Therapy, providing comprehensive support for internal rhythm regulation and nervous system balance.

Relaxing Body Massage, Coco Shambhala
For those seeking more than just physical relaxation, Coco Shambala’s signature body massage offers a deeper, more sensorial retreat—one that calms the nervous system, quiets the mind, and restores emotional balance. At the heart of this treatment is a bespoke blend of geranium, bergamot, and sandalwood essential oils, chosen for their soothing properties and subtle, grounding aroma. Gentle, flowing strokes work in tandem with the therapeutic scents to ease tension and invite a profound sense of calm.
Beyond relaxation, the oils offer nourishing benefits for the skin, help to heal irritation, reduce inflammation, and leave the skin feeling soft, supple, and renewed. An immersive and restorative treatment, this one gently reawakens both body and spirit.

Magnesium IV Drips, Elixir Wellness
Think magnesium supplements, but in an IV drip form. Magnesium, in general, helps calm the nervous system, reduce muscle tension, and support melatonin synthesis, and the IC magnesium therapy available at Elixir Wellness delivers the essential mineral directly into the bloodstream. This ensures faster absorption and higher efficacy. It’s great for those experiencing insomnia due to stress or a deficiency, as it also helps lower cortisol levels and balance neurotransmitters.
Additionally, they offer red light therapy to enhance melatonin production and help reset disrupted circadian rhythms, an infrared sauna to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce nighttime anxiety, and whole-body cryotherapy to support hormonal balance and reduce systemic inflammation that may interfere with sleep.

Nidra, J Wellness
This deeply immersive 120-minute ritual is more than a massage—it’s a sensorial journey designed to untangle tension and bring the body back to a state of quiet equilibrium. It begins with a hot-water shower to soften the muscles and awaken the senses, setting the stage for what’s to come. What follows is a full-body massage using a custom blend of kewda, frankincense, brahmi, sandalwood, and sesame—a meditative mix known for its grounding and restorative properties. As the oils sink in, so does a sense of release, as if the stress is slowly being exhaled from your body.
The experience doesn’t end there. A nurturing face massage focuses on marma points, the vital energy centres, to awaken inner stillness, while a dry scalp massage melts any lingering mental chatter. Every touch, every scent, is carefully curated to evoke a rare and lasting calm.

Rest & Revive, Dharana
This multi-day programme (5/7/14) provides a combination of Ayurveda and modern practices that revive and relax the body and mind. It focuses on practices that correct the circadian rhythm while also healing gut health through dietary changes. Through a combination of therapeutic interventions, personalised sleep hygiene guidance, and targeted relaxation techniques and therapies, the programme helps in enhancing sleep quality to promote more restorative sleep.
Where: Dharna Shillim, Pune
Manipura Massage, BamBoo Luxury
Moving away from the regular massages, this traditional Manipura massage offers an energy cleanse with a crystal salt scrub that purifies and stimulates the lymphatic system. The body massage focuses on the solar plexus chakra—the third of the seven major chakras present in the body’s energy system. The treatment helps uplift energy, aids in digestion, and even helps induce a more peaceful and restful sleep.
