Ayurvedic Massage
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word and it means “knowledge of right living”. It includes techniques that date back to 5000 years ago. However ancient these techniques are, Ayurvedic treatments have pioneered in resolving effectively and efficiently the new-age symptoms of mental fatigue and other metabolic and chronic problems.
Unlike other types of massage, Ayurvedic massage is not only about using ointments lavishly in chic extravagant ambience. The practitioner of Ayurvedic treatments systematically studies your body type to determine the dosha. They concentrate on subtle energy points, marmas in Ayurveda, to help you soothe and enliven your senses.
Massage therapy works at dual level of physical and mental, to maintain a balance between both. Ayurvedic massage heals the pain and fatigue in nervous system, ligaments and other muscle related ailments. Gentle physical manipulation of marmas results in expelling toxins and revitalizing the senses. It also aids in giving complementary effects with other Ayurvedic treatments.
