What is Ayurvedic Massage? What are the benefits?

The Ayurvedic Massage is not like a typical massage. It incorporates the principles of Ayurveda – an ancient and traditional holistic healing method created in India- with the science of massage.

Ayurveda is based on the belief that the health and wellness of a person depend on the balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Hence, an Ayurvedic Massage aims to promote overall good health and wellness and not just fight a particular disease, Spa in Bangalore.

Ayurvedic Massage vs Other Massages

Our professional staff performs the Ayurvedic massage with warm essential oils and pushes out stress and enriches the body. The heavy use of oils and focus on energy fields is what makes an Ayurvedic massage in Bangalore unique. There is also not much actual massaging. The therapist instead focuses on clearing the energy channels in the body and balancing the energy centres or the chakras.

The five elements of nature, namely air, water, fire, earth, and space, are considered to be the building blocks of life in Ayurveda. These combine to create three principles or dosha within the body, namely – Vata (Air and Space), Pitta (Fire and Water), and Kapha (Water and Earth) believed that all human beings inherit a unique mix of the three doshas, and one dosha is usually dominant. This can be balanced by following a specific diet and lifestyle.

Also, for the Ayurvedic massage, you must look out for someone who is a certified massage therapist and an Ayurvedic Practitioner. Before beginning the massage, the therapist will inquire about your eating habits and physical activity. The oil for the massage will be chosen based on your body type. You will be asked to undress and lie down, and the therapist will pour the warm oil on your body and start massaging in a series of strokes.

Preparing for an Ayurvedic Massage Session

An ayurvedic massage entails the adoption of certain healthy practices like-

a. Waking up Early: Ayurveda recommends waking up early in the morning between 5 am and 6 am. It improves your productivity and makes you more organized and mentally fit.

b. Meditate: It is about controlling thoughts, focusing on breathing, and finding inner stillness. It is a healing practise allowing us to experience deep relaxation and calmness.

c. Drink Warm Water: Also, sip water slowly and deliberately throughout the day rather than gulping it at once. This keeps the body in a relaxed state.

d. Food time: Eat a healthy breakfast by 9 a.m.

e. Practice Self-massage with Oil: According to Ayurveda, applying warm sesame oil or ghee to the body and gently massaging before a shower has many benefits. This massage is good for the skin and reduces anxiety and stress.
