What is Ayurveda Massage?

Ayurveda Massage is thought to be one of the oldest and most practiced forms of 
natural healing in the world that incorporates a use of aromatic oils. This 3000-year-old 
method began in India, and it is aimed towards helping you to achieve greater inner 
peace by cleansing the mind body and spirit. This technique is heavily practiced today, 
and many people find it to be highly effective. This article will be discussion some of its 
benefits. 

Conventional Benefits

Ayurveda Massage manipulates your circulatory system, which improves blood and 
lymph flow. This helps to purify the circulatory system by pushing dead cells, toxins and 
other agents to nodes that clean the system. Your health is improved when the 
impurities are excreted from the body through pores, sweat glands and urine. It even 
improves neuromuscular health. 

Aromatherapy 

This ancient massage technique employs a concise and specific use of aromatic oils for 
emotional well-being, improved alertness, stress relief, and variety of other mental and 
physical benefits. This is achieved by aligning the scents to elicit positive feelings 
related to an idea or positive memory while taking their current physical state in mind. 
For example, cinnamon might be good for someone who is lethargic and wants to be 
alert, but it might not be good for someone with skin inflammation. Smell is one of the 
primary pathways to stimulation of the limbic system of the brain. This allows the 
therapist to be able to draw emotion by awakening memories, reducing depression and 
boosting the immune response. 

Use of Music 

The music that your Ayurveda Massage practitioner decides upon, is intended to 
nurture a strong sense of calm and comfort. Greater relaxation loosens muscles and 
works with the massage to promote a greater flow physically, mentally and spiritually. 
The is primarily through the use of Ragas, which are melodies composed in a major 
key. There are 72 Ragas used in Ayurveda Massage, which were created by aligning 
the melody with cosmic forces that aid and tie to specific conditions and ailments.  

Visualizations

Due to the induction of the alpha brainwave state that takes place during your massage, 
the brain is more open and able to augment facets of emotional memory and attitude. 
This makes it a great time to affirm a positive outlook and encourage a healthy mindset. 
Multiple types of massage, yoga, and other alternative health disciplines employ the use 
of visualization, also known as positive affirmations to direct the mind and spirit to a 
more positive path.
