What’s special about Ayurvedic massages?

Ayurveda combines custom-tailored therapeutic oils with rhythmic and synchronized movements in massages making the procedure more effective. Various organic medicated oils are the key ingredient to the whole procedure. The oil is selected on the basis of the dosha constitution of the person. As mentioned earlier the Tridosha concept is very much regarded and accordingly applied when it comes to what oil for whom and when. Hence the oil suitable for your Deha prakriti (individual constitution) is chosen, the same is the case of choosing herbal components. Sometimes to enhance the therapeutic value noteworthy active ingredients in herbs are infused by heating the herbs in the oil taken and the oil is later used for the massage.

The other secret lies in the way of the massage. This purely could be customized, because according to Ayurveda the movements involved in massages should complement the need and Dosha alignment of the patient. The movements using human hands normally involve drawing off patterns, squeezing, or crushing on the body parts. According to the person’s needs, the flow of the maneuver is altered.

ABHYANGA: It is an ancient Ayurvedic way of oil massage which by the special movement advocates deep impalement of the herbal oil formulation into the skin layers thereby facilitating the elimination of the toxins from the body. Other than the removal of impurities, Abhyanga also focuses on the relaxation of the mind and body.

Relaxation of the whole body being its key benefit, it is also involved in regulating the blood pressure, maintaining a healthy pattern of one’s biological clock.
