Best Ayurvedic Oil Body Massage

 

 Ayurvedic Oil  Body Massage

 

Winter season is one of the pleasant seasons. People enjoy delicious food, beautiful dress and travelling in the winter season. To keep all the happiness in tact we should take special care of our health in winter season. Because of the coldness, dryness is enhanced. The intracellular fluid that is comprised of water and fat get evaporated giving rise to dryness, crack to the skin and internal neurological disorders.

In the management of intracellular fluid and the neurological competency Ayurveda has programmed different types of treatments, out of which Ayurvedic massage with oil or any fatty substance is the most popular one. Ayurvedic body massage is very much beneficial which I will describe, perhaps in my next post. Today I want to say something about one Ayurvedic oil massage called Pizhichi. 



This is a massage performed by four therapists taking at least two liters of oil  for the purpose. The warm oil fulfils both the purpose of massage and sudation (Sweating). It is to be noted that massage should always be followed by a steam bath. In pizhichil there is no need of steam bath as the swedana karma (sudation) is done by the warmth of the oil.

This treatment is highly beneficial and being practiced for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Spondylitis, Sciatica, PIVD, MND(Motor Neuron Disease), Parkinson's disease etc.

Why we Should take Ayurvedic Body Massage

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.
