Ayurvedic massage - Abhyanga massage

What is Ayurveda ?

Ayurveda is an holist form of Indian medicine designed to bring mind, body and spirit into balance. If you want to know more about Ayurveda, I've put together a list of books, CDs and products that will help.

What is Abhyanga massage?

Abhyanga massage is a deeply energising massage of the marma points (specific energy centres) from head to toe using warm oils that stimulates the circulatory, immune and nervous systems. This revitalising massage also helps to restore energy. The massage is done in a soft rhythmic way  for forty five to sixty minutes. 

 

Benefits :

  • Increased circulation, especially to nerve endings
  • Toning of the muscles and the whole physiology
  • Calming for the nerves
  • Lubrication of the joints
  • Increased mental alertness
  • Improved elimination of impurities from the body
  • Softer, smoother skin

After the massage is over, the client is encouraged to shower  or to take a steamy bath to encourage absorption of the oil.
