Western medicine believes there are three channels from which our body’s draw energy and achieves optimal health both physically and mentally. Ayurvedic treatments involve establishing an individual’s constitution between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in order to explore the nature of any imbalance that exists between them and then seeking to return the individual’s body to a state of healthy balance. Ayurvedic massage combines the ancient Indian medical practices outlined in Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic culture recognizes the vast therapeutic benefits of massage and for this reason family members practice the giving and receiving of massages as part of their daily interactions.

Ayurvedic massage uses a liberal amount of oils (so as to not aggravate Vata by irritating dry skin), a vigorous touch, and special attention to special pressure points, which are intended to stimulate specific organ systems. A great deal of emphasis is placed on stimulating the digestive system in Ayurveda, and the same can be said about Ayurvedic massage. Many of the pressure points and massage techniques that are employed are intended to stimulate proper digestion and elimination. This massage is perfect for anyone seeking to cleanse and purify their mind, body and spirit.
