Ayurvedic Massage
Ayurvedic Massage is a personalised Massage and uses essential oils which are chosen to suit your dosha (constitution). The Massage techniques used include tapping, kneading and squeezing as well as the more traditional Massage strokes you would expect. The style and flow of the Massage is determined by who you are and what your body needs for balance and wellbeing at the time.
An Ayurvedic therapist is trained to focus on the "marma points" - similar to the pressure points in reflexology, acupuncture and acupressure.
Ayurvedic Massage can help:
Detoxify and cleanse
Boost the effectiveness of the immune system
Keep healthy people in good health
Help those with medical conditions to improve their overall well-being.
An Ayurvedic Massage is individually devised and tailored to suit the client and it is important that the client's 'dosha' is determined. The Practitioner will ask detailed questions about lifestyle and health to determine the person's dosha in order to determine which oils and Massage strokes will best suit. Skin type will be assessed and the correct herb infused oils chosen accordingly.
As it is so personal, no two Ayurvedic Massages are the same. For your Massage, the Practitioner will tailor the intensity and level of pressure to what suits you best.
All Massage can leave you feeling thirsty and needing to go to the toilet more than usual this is because your lymphatic system is flushing out toxins. Drink plenty of water after treatment.
