Feeling worn out and achy after a hectic day is totally normal. Whether you’re stuck at a desk all day or constantly on the go, your body can take a beating. That’s where a soothing Kerala Ayurvedic relax massage therapy comes in to rescue you.
In this blog, we’ll chat about three types of Ayurvedic massages you should totally treat yourself to next time you swing by the Kerala Ayurvedic Centre.
Here’s a special Ayurvedic healthful massage therapy for you. Unlike many other massages in this tradition that rely heavily on oils, Garshana is dry. The therapist wears silk gloves and gives you a thorough massage with firm pressure and lively movements. It’s believed to help break down fat and promote lymphatic drainage. Garshana also acts as an exfoliating massage, getting rid of dead skin cells and prepping your body to better absorb oil-based therapies.
They say it all starts in the head. So, it’s no wonder our noggin needs some extra love and care to recharge our senses. Enter the Shirodhara technique, a blissful way to ease stress and soothe the mind by pampering the scalp and forehead. As one of the five steps in the ‘Panchkarma’ process, it involves a gentle, continuous stream of calming liquids poured by a skilled therapist onto your forehead and scalp while you chill out on the table. The liquids used vary from herbal oils to milk and sometimes even coconut or plain water. Depending on what’s poured, it goes by different names like Ksheeradhara, Thakradhara, or Jaladhara.
Combining the benefits of Ayurveda herbal massage and steam, this Ayurvedic therapy uses medicated herbs and small rice pouches to provide a revitalizing experience. After the oil is applied to your body, the therapist targets pressure points with pouches filled with a special rice called Njavara, which gives the protocol its name. Throughout the massage, these pouches are dipped repeatedly in cow’s milk and herbal paste to help the skin sweat and eliminate toxins. Besides being great skincare, it’s also an effective relaxation therapy.
