What is Ayurvedic massage?
Ayurveda, “science of life” in Sanskrit, is a system of traditional medicine more than three thousand years old. Massage plays an essential role: it is considered a treatment in its own right, which nourishes the body and balances the mind.
Ayurvedic massage, sometimes called abhyanga, is practiced with a large quantity of hot oil, often sesame, sometimes enriched with plants. It shares with tantric massage the same Indian origin and the same attention to energy.
The procedure of an Ayurvedic massage session
The masseuse heats the oil and applies it generously all over the body. It then carries out rhythmic movements, sometimes rapid, friction and pressure on energy points called “marmas”.
The massage covers the entire body, including the scalp and feet. The rhythm alternates between invigorating phases and slower phases. At the end, the body is relaxed but also awakened, and the skin deeply nourished.
What Ayurvedic massage can do for you
Ayurvedic massage improves circulation, softens the joints and intensely nourishes the skin. It also helps to relieve fatigue and return to peaceful sleep.
It is suitable for people who like massages generous with oil and who are looking for a complete treatment, both relaxing and energizing.
How to choose the right masseuse?
A real Ayurvedic massage uses a lot of oil: don't wear your best clothes when going out, and allow time for a shower. Choose a masseuse who mentions ayurveda or abhyanga in her services, a sign that she knows the principles. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, let them know when you make contact so that they can adjust the oil used. Also remember to allow a little time after the session: going straight to a stressful appointment would cause you to lose a good part of the benefits of the massage.
