The most known Ayurveda massage is Abhyanga – the classical oil massage working the entire body. It are often administered by one therapist or by two masseurs using an equivalent rhythm and pressure (Synchronised massage). The oil is chosen consistent with the guest’s constitution type, age and any specific disease present. the advantages of Abhyanga are many, including but not limited to:

Nourishes the body, making the muscles and joints strong.
Increases vitality and stamina.
Frees the body from weariness and tenseness caused by routine work, mental stress and strain.
Induces proper sleep. Sleep affects our physical and mental wellbeing so is a crucial tool which affects our daily lives also as our longevity.

nutrition to the skin, massage increases the durability and firmness of the skin and speedy recovery of wounds/scars.
The therapeutic effect of massage consists within the prevention and correction of diseases caused by Vatta. It does so by increasing the blood flow within the tissues suffering from disease. Skin is that the main sensory organ through which massage can help to stay Vatta in equilibrium.
Ayurveda massage is additionally a crucial component within the rejuvenation of the body (Rasayama).

Massage to Promote Better Sleep

Sleep imbalances, according to ayurveda, occur when one or more of the three ayurvedic principles of Vata, Pitta or Kapha is out of balance. Massage is one of the techniques recommended to restore balance and aid the process of getting an adequate amount of rejuvenating rest. This massage is performed on the peripheries to improve circulation and relax the mind and body. Massage oils for this purpose combine herbs and essential oils with a base oil. The Youthful Skin Massage Oils for Men and Women are ideal for this massage.

How it’s done — Apply the massage oil to the lower arms, hands, lower legs and feet a few minutes before bed and gently massage into the skin. Pay special attention to the soles of the feet and the nail beds of the hands and feet. Pat off any excess oil with a clean cloth (convert PDF to word). The Youthful Skin Massage Oil is easily absorbed and non-staining, so it can be left on all night.
