Ayurvedic massages have the healing power of age-old medicines such as a wooden table and traditional herbal oils, where two masseurs massage the body thoroughly in the classic form. The effect is clearly visible. The body gets rid of excess fluids. Warm medicinal oil is poured evenly over the body and forehead. It is a gentle, energetic massage ,. In this massage circulation-promoting massage techniques are combined with the stimulation of special marma points. These are pressure points from Ayurveda, which have a great deal in common with the (much younger and marma-based) Chinese acupuncture points.
Massaging is usually done with the hands, sometimes with special bundles of herbs. It is an entire body massage in which head, face, hands and feet are taken. This massage form is suitable for everyone: healthy or sick, young or old. However, the massages are not recommended during the first 3 months of pregnancy, with a fever or just after eating.
Effects of an Ayurvedic massage
The Ayurvedic massage brings the whole body in balance. Body and mind are brought closer together and the anabolic processes or the self-healing capacity of the body are stimulated.
Ayurvedic massage works on the muscles and on the energy system. The joints relax and stress, fatigue and insomnia are fought. The massage provides more vital energy, helps to remove toxins that are stuck and to release emotional blockages. It activates the lymphatic system and blood circulation. It extends the lifespan, contributes to the awareness of the body, relieves muscle tension and increases the sensual appearance. The massage cleanses, relaxes, nourishes and balances the physical body, emotions and mind.
Medicinal oil
Specific to Ayurvedic massage is the massage oil, which softens and nourishes the skin. Many different types of oil can be used, depending on the personality of the massaged person, the specific complaints and the desired effect. The oil is therefore usually specially formulated for the massage. Herbs can be added that further increase the absorption, effect and nutritional value.
Ayurveda assumes that the oil is absorbed into your body and that through the lymph and blood the oils feed even the lungs and deeper tissues. The idea behind it is that they lubricate muscles, tendons & joints and thereby make the body flexible. They firmly claim that they feed bone into the marrow and stimulate blood production and promote healthy hair growth. The oils have a protective effect on the physical and mental level.
