subject: Ayurvedic Massage For Your Health [print this page] Abhyanga is one of many massage routines established by Ayurvedic Massages, and is considered to be an important part of maintaining good health for our Body. Traditionally, Abhyanga involves two people who sit on either side of a table, massaging in unison. The full-body Abhyanga massage uses warm sesame oil for each side of the body. Although focused on the full body self-massage of Abhyanga, Ayurvedic Massage includes other types of massage therapy in addition to basic oil massage. A warmed oil scalp massage is recommended for stimulating the scalp, nourishing the hair roots and hair and relieving mental fatigue.
According to ayurveda, hair loss is caused by excess of pitta in the body. Pitta increases in the body with the consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol, meat, oily food and smoking. Ayurveda treats hair loss by finding the root cause of the problem and then treating it through various kinds of oil massage, breathing techniques, aromatherapy, meditation, diet and yoga. You need to stick to a diet that balances all the doshas, especially the pitta dosha that is responsible for hair loss. Take protein-rich food such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, yeast, wheat germ, soya, etc.
Traditional oils used in warm oil scalp massage combine herbal extracts with the base oil for maximum benefit. Ayurvedic Massage also has specific massage techniques for promoting better sleep. Although much of Ayurvedic Massages uses oils, the type of Ayruvedic massage called dry Garshana massage is done without oil. This type of massage is done to gradually break down fat deposits through the enhancements of blood and lymphatic circulations. The massage helps to exfoliate and clean the skin. Special raw silk gloves are used to perform the Garshana massage. For more information about http://www.ayurvedasbeautycare.com
