Touch is the most basic mode of communication between two human beings.
Massage involves this magic of touch; thus massage promotes
health---both psychological and emotional.
Massage improves circulation, supports neurological functions, helps in
digestion by providing gas relief and strengthens overall immunity.
Massage act as stimulant for the skin receptors and the nerves and
triggers off the 'feel-good' hormones, especially the endorphins. This
helps the nerves and muscles relax. Massage also helps alleviating pain
simply by refusing to receive pain signals from brain.
The end result is: you get a feeling of complete relaxation---both in
your body and mind. With tensions and stresses gone, you gain back the
keenness of your senses.
Massage takes different approaches in different parts of the world. The
Indian massage therapy or the Ayurvedic massage has been practiced
since antiquity. Massage has always received a scientific perception in
the writing of the Scholars of ancient India. This traditional Indian
technique was based on Ayurvedic Doshas and Marmas---the pressure
points in the Western reflexology. Here are some basic points:

Indian Massage---an experience of lifetime
In the interior of India, you will get to see people receiving massage
in the corners of the streets for a few rupees; although they often
lack formal training, they have acquired the art as a part of community
tradition.
But for a life changing experience, you should visit a luxury Indian
spa where trained and experienced masseurs will offer you traditional
Ayurvedic massage for a holistic rejuvenation. Here are some of the
varieties of Ayurvedic massage you can experience in the different
parts of India, especially in the Spa Resorts in Kerala, in southern
fringes of the peninsula.
Panchakarma treatment
The gentle process that promotes deep cleansing without discomfort.
This is a massage technique that helps eliminate toxins from the body
accumulated in areas like the lymph, circulatory, and immune systems.
Abhyanga Massage
The fastest toxin expelling technique - this is a luxurious full body
indulgence with medicated oils containing herbs and ingredients that
pacify the unbalanced Vata, Pitta, and Kapha energies.
Ayurvedic Head Massage
The technique that ends mental fatigue - this massage is done with oils
containing herbs that pacify the nerves and stimulate the brain for
better functioning. This massage can be your ultimate solution for
getting rid of emotional fatigue, confusions and for enhanced clarity
of mind.
Full Body Steam
Expelling toxins with the help of steam - this is a full body massage
technique, much different from ordinary sauna; here the steam contains
vapors of detoxifying and balancing herbs. However, the head and neck
areas are excluded in this massage. In addition of relieving body from
toxins, it also moisturizes and dehydrates the skin giving it a baby
soft glow.
Shirodhara
The ultimate stress reliever - this amazing technique involves
trickling of a warm stream of mixture of cooling and balancing herbal
oils and medicated ghee over the forehead in a continuous flow. To
enhance the effect, the treatment is carried on in a quiet, soothing
atmosphere. If you happen to suffer from any one of these: chronic
neuro-muscular disorders, hypertension, insomnia, depression, anxiety,
headaches or restlessness---- Shirodhara is the technique you must give
a try to get rid of these menaces for once and for all.
For generations, Indian massage has been trusted for having a powerful
effect on the mental and emotional well being of the individuals.
