Ayurvedic Marma Massage
Ayurvedic massage, deeply rooted in the ancient Indian system of holistic healing, offers more than just relaxation. It promotes overall wellness by balancing the body’s energies, enhancing circulation, and detoxifying the system.
Marma points are energy points on the body, which are stimulated during an Ayurvedic Marma massage to help the flow of prana (vital energy).
The smooth flow of prana is essential for optimal health as it the vital force that energise the body and gives us life. When the flow of prana is obstructed, it can lead to various health issues as well as aches and pains. Ayurvedic massage helps to clear these blockages thus rejuvenates the body both physically and mentally, promoting overall well-being, reducing stress, and enhancing vitality.
This form of treatment uses warm herbal or medicated oils tailored to an individual to promote balance and harmony which is essential in maintaining health and preventing diseases.
Pinda Sweda is a form of treatment used during an Ayurvedic Marma Massage that uses hot herbal poultices that are pressed into the skin. Pinda sweda is used to deliver heat and benefits from the herbal ingredients deep into the body’s tissues. Heat induces sweating and therefore promotes elimination of toxins from the body and improves absorption of herbs through the open pores.
