River Thistle Spa

Open since 2019, River Thistle Spa occupies a historic downtown building in Batesville. The salon specializes in Ayurvedic head spa treatments, including Shirodhara, a traditional Indian therapy involving a continuous flow of warm oil over the forehead. Sessions typically combine scalp massage with reflexology techniques targeting pressure points on the head, hands, and feet. The spa's interior features accessible design elements, including wheelchair-friendly entrances and restrooms. Several reviewers observe that the treatment rooms maintain a minimalist aesthetic with natural wood accents and subdued lighting. The team uses non-toxic products throughout their services, from massage creams to laundry detergents. Walk-ins are accepted during weekday hours, while weekend visits require advance booking.
