What is Ayurvedic Body massage?
Ayurveda
body massage is not far different from any other massage around the
world. It is different by its concept. Ayurvedic massage is otherwise
called Abhyangam or Avyangam in Sanskrit. Abhyanga means to move over
the body that is to massage over the body. It can be both preventive and
curative practice. Abhyanga is a part of “Dina charya” that is daily
habit like passing urine and stool, brushing teeth etc. Massage can be
practiced over anybody from childhood to old age. For a complete
abhyanga, the massage zones include-
— Head
— Palms
— Plantar area
— Ears.
The massage should always be performed in mode of Anulomana i.e. in the direction of the hair i.e. from head to toe.
Ayurveda body massage does have its own clinical value. It is not a mechanical
friction in between the palms of the masseur and the skin of the
recipient. It is a psychosomatic link in between the two. This is a way
of psychological connection in between the therapist and the guest.
