Despite developing a love
for massage at a young age, the ancient Indian art of Ayurvedic massage is
still a comparatively new concept to me... a year-old concept, to be precise.
Given it's been around for over 5000 years and I've been around for 33 of those
years, I'm genuinely baffled as to how I'd never even heard of it till last
year. One highly-likely clarification is that it's just not that available here
in the USA; a simple Google search strongly suggests that, anyhow.
So, for the sake of those in
a similar boat to I was 12 months ago I will try and keep my explanation of
Ayurvedic massage to the fundamentals so that you only take away what you want
to know...
Derivation
Ayurvedic massage is a type
of massage therapy that originated in ancient India over 5000 years ago. It
falls under the wider umbrella of 'Ayurveda', which is the name given to the
traditional form of usual medicine that is still commonly skillful in India
today; massage therapy being just one element. Ayurveda perceives the body and
mind as strongly connected and so all its treatment techniques - including
massage therapy - employ an holistic approach and outlook. According to
Ayurveda we are all born with a unique, optimal constitution, and over time
that establishment is rocked and unbalanced by a variety of man-made factors;
namely the stresses, strains and routines of each day life. With the help of Ayurvedic
massage we can apparently help to restore our constitutions to their optimal
state; thus achieving health and happiness. Although Ayurvedic massage
traditionally forms part of a comprehensive, modified therapy plan, in western
society it is now often enjoyed simply for its luxurious, calming property.
Types
Ayurvedic massage types can
vary very much in terms of their method and main benefit but the desired result
is ultimately the same for all; to improve one's well being. Many Ayurvedic
massages use temperate, nourishing oil that is massaged into the skin using
slow, rhythmic strokes whereas others will use powdered herbs to exfoliate the
skin, leaving it looking radiant. The other 'common' method is to use warm,
herb-filled linen bags to soothe areas of the body where pain or embarrassment
is experienced; a technique in the past used on soldiers during the war.
