Ayurveda means the “science of life” or “knowledge of life” in Sanskrit. Ayurvedic medicine works by restoring balance to physical, mental, and emotional health in a natural and holistic approach. Oil is generally used in Ayurvedic massage and generally, it benefits us by releasing our muscle tension, lymphatic drainage, and a sense of better emotional well-being.
Key Features of an Ayurvedic Massage
Use of Warm Herbal Oils: Ayurvedic massage typically involves the use of warm (sometimes medicated) oils that are chosen based on the individual’s Dosha type (primary energy pattern). The oils are infused with various herbs that have specific healing properties. The oil is not only used as a medium for massage but is also believed to nourish the skin.
Rhythmic Strokes and Techniques: The massage is characterised by long, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements that follow the direction of blood flow and energy channels in the body. The pressure and technique are adjusted according to the individual’s needs or preferences.

It can help reduce anxiety, improve sleep, enhance mental focus, and promote a sense of overall well-being. Ayurvedic massage is typically performed in a serene environment, with an emphasis on creating a calming and therapeutic experience. It is often recommended as part of a broader Ayurvedic treatment plan that includes diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies.
