AYURVEDIC MARMA MASSAGE (Abhyanga).
AYURVEDIC MARMA MASSAGE (Abhyanga):
A full body massage using herbal oils selected according to your dosha/constitution and practiced with an acute awareness of the marma points. Marma are anatomical points on our body where energy channels in our body (called Shotas) meet. Ayurveda believes that our life forces (Doshas) flow through these channels. In order for us to have good health life forces should flow through the channels without obstruction and at a good speed. Day to day stresses, toxins (from environment or food) and lifestyle irregularity can cause the energy flow to become sluggish or even get blocked at certain points. This is how Ayurveda believes we develop illnesses or even start feeling unwell, imbalanced and not at peace.
Lab tests may not pick up any abnormality, we may not get a diagnosis and yet we continue to feel something is not right. Ayurvedic constitution analysis is a good way to diagnose imbalances in life forces and Marma massage together with lifestyle modification is a proven way to restore our health.
