Ayurvedic Massage
“The great thing about Ayurveda is that its treatments always yield side benefits, not side effects.”
— Shubhra Krishan
​
Ayurvedic massage is a traditional Indian massage technique that has been used for centuries to promote healing and relaxation.
Ayurveda is a natural system of medicine, that originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life.
This massage style uses a combination of oils and herbs to nourish the body and mind, and it is believed to balance the body's energy centers, or chakras.
​
During the massage, a therapist will use long, flowing strokes and circular movements to stimulate the flow of energy throughout the body. They may also use tapping, kneading, and stretching techniques to release tension and improve flexibility.
​
The massage will typically begin with the feet and work its way up the body, focusing on the areas that need the most attention. A therapist will also pay special attention to the marma points, which are specific points on the body where energy is believed to be concentrated.
​
Ayurvedic massage is a holistic approach to healing that can benefit both the body and mind. Overall, Ayurvedic massage is a wonderful way to promote relaxation, healing, and overall wellness. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve circulation, or simply feel more balanced and grounded, this ancient practice has something to offer.
