ABAYHANGA
Massage and the external application of Ayurvedic herbalised oils nourishes the heart and calms the mind.The therapeutic touch communicated to our body and it relaxes our muscles and ligaments, strengthening our joints at the same time.
Massage is an important part of ayurveda but rather than concentrating on western techniques that manipulate body contour,it works on marma (vital )points opening up 'energy' channels which are believed to cause blockages within the body resulting in disease.
Specific oils are used on different body types - Vata, Pitta & Kapha.The oils are specially prepared by Ayurvedic Physicians according to ancient Ayuvedic texts which are over 5,ooo yrs old. The Drs use a combination of over 1,500 herbs. Herbs are harvested on sustainable farms throughout India, Sri-Lanka and the sub continent.
