Ayurvedic Relaxation with Medicated Oil Massaging and Other Techniques of Relaxation

March 24th, 2007 | admin

The Sanskrit word Ayurveda translates into “the science of life”. Ayurveda has its own view and philosophies on universal existence.

Ayurvedic relaxation massage is an important relaxation treatment to relieve tiredness by promoting blood circulation, relaxing muscles and revitalizing essential body systems.

Ayurvedic Dinacharya or daily routines form an important part of Ayurvedic relaxation. By controlling the body activities and keeping bodily activities in sync with nature can help you relax even in stressful situations.

Thus, Ayurvedic relaxation is not just a matter of a few hours, but being calm and collected in all your daily affairs.

Purvakarma (purva karma) which comes before panchakarma uses shirodhara, treats the person with a slow, steady flow of pleasantly warm medicated oil on his or her head. This therapy calms down the nervous system. Mental clarity, better comprehension, alertness, relaxed state, and tranquility are the effects of shirodhara.
