What is Ayurvedic Massage?


Using diverse techniques like stretching, rubbing, acupressure points etc. Ayurvedic massage incorporates long and energetic movements with special herbal oils. This massage is specifically geared towards the needs of each individual.
Ayurveda teaches us that everyone needs massage on a regular basis.In just the same way as a machine needs lubrication, the body loves to be oiled to protect it against the ravages of life and time. Regular Abhyanga massage promotes healing and restoration by eliminating toxins from the body so that rejuvenating energies of the body may flow more freely.

These massage techniques provide relaxation, circulation and elimination of toxins. If adopted as a daily practice, Ayurvedic massage techniques can even help to rejuvenate the body.
In ancient times, ayurvedic clinics did not regularly offer massage, as everybody gave and received it. Only when patients needed a particular treatment were they referred to specialists that used the appropriate ayurvedic techniques.
