When and how to have an Ayurvedic massage

It is advisable to have the massage before your morning shower. You can use Aromatherapy oils or herbal massage oils, or even the time-worn sesame oil used by generations before us.
It is important to slightly warm the oil before applying it on the body.

Pour the oil generously on the body and rub lightly with your fingertips. Allow the oil to penetrate into the body for best results.

If you have a masseuse to do the massage, she will begin by putting pressure with her whole palm and then applying lighter pressure on some sensitive areas of the body.
A good masseuse will pay special attention to nerve endings in the body.

It is important to use movements that suit the body .

Circular movements for the head and the joints in the body and straight movement and pressure on the legs and arms. Thus the entire body gets stimulated with the massage.
Once the body gets soaked in the oil, allow for it to penetrate and start having beneficial effects. Be totally relaxed for at least 15 – 20 minutes before you get into the shower for a warm bath.
It’s back to basics again with Ayurveda gaining in importance as a highly successful alternative therapy with no side effects. Spas and Health resorts offering holistic Ayurvedic treatment have become popular as their efficacy is being recognized the world over.
