Massage, called Abhayanga, plays many important roles in Ayurveda. The typical massage is self massage which is done every morning. Usually one massages themselves before morning Yoga and bathing so that the oil can be absorbed by the body by the heat generated by the Yoga. You can also give yourself a lighter massage after you bath.

Balance Dosha, Increase Circulation and Nutrition, Remove Toxins, Panch Karma

Massaging helps balance the body mind in many ways. It increases circulation to bring more nutrition to the cells and helps to remove metabolic wastes and toxins built up in the system. Using oils specific to doshas one can bring each of the doshas into alignment, especially the Vata dosha which is balanced by oil in general. And the healing aspects of all the essential oils that we use in all our massage oil adds another dimension to the effectiveness of these ayurvedic aromatherapy massage oils. These oils are great to use for Panch Karma preparations (Purva Karma) as they are formulated for each specific dosha and include their own dipanas - digestives.

What is ayurveda

How Do You Define Ayurveda?:

Ayurveda can be defined as a system, which uses the inherent principles of nature, to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.

What is the Meaning of Ayurveda?:

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term, made up of the words "ayus" and "veda." "Ayus" means life and "Veda" means knowledge or science. The term "ayurveda" thus means 'the knowledge of life' or 'the science of life'. According to the ancient Ayurvedic scholar Charaka, "ayu" comprises the mind, body, senses and the soul.

What is the Origin of Ayurveda?:

Widely regarded as the oldest form of healthcare in the world, Ayurveda is an intricate medical system that originated in India thousands of years ago. The fundamentals of Ayurveda can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas — the ancient Indian books of wisdom. The Rig Veda, which was written over 6,000 years ago, contains a series of prescriptions that can help humans overcome various ailments.

What are the Basic Principles of Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is based on the premise that the universe is made up of five elements: air, fire, water, earth and ether. These elements are represented in humans by three "doshas", or energies: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. When any of the doshas accumulate in the body beyond the desirable limit, the body loses its balance. Every individual has a distinct balance, and our health and well-being depend on getting a right balance of the three doshas ("tridoshas"). Ayurveda suggests specific lifestyle and nutritional guidelines to help individuals reduce the excess dosha.
A healthy person, as defined in Sushrut Samhita, one of the primary works on Ayurveda, is "he whose doshas are in balance, appetite is good, all tissues of the body and all natural urges are functioning properly, and whose mind, body and spirit are cheerful..."

The word Ayurveda is composed of two sanskrit words - Ayu means life and Veda means knowledge, Ayurveda means the knowledge of life.Ayurveda in kerala is most importent because Kerala's climate and presence of all medical plants and the cool monsoon are very suitable for ayurveda treatments.Ayurveda treatment is not just the affected parts, but also the whole body.
