Ayurvedic massage

A healing system of body and energy, discovered in India over 5000 years ago.

About the origin

Warmth that frees the flow

Our Ayurvedic Massage is inspired by Ayurveda, the ancient Indian tradition of holistic wellbeing and balance. Using generous amounts of warm oil together with long, flowing and deeply relaxing strokes, it nurtures the whole body, releases tension and creates a wonderful sense of harmony and grounding.

In the ayurveda system pain is provoked by an obstruction of the flow of vayu (air) in the vessels in the body. Massaging the body generates heat which produces an expansion and change of the air. The circulation of vayu through the vessels diminishes the pain and leads to a deeper breath.

This massage balances the energy in the body, opens the free flow in the channels and cleans the chakras and the blood, using circulatory movements, pressure and channeled energy to help the one receiving.

Nowadays most people live under pressure and with a high level of stress. Constantly worrying leads to an accumulation of toxins and blocks the energy in the body. Due to the special techniques of digitopuncture, friction and circulatory movement, we work on the blood circulation, the lymph system, the emotional, subtle and energetic level and the muscle system to eliminate physical and mental tiredness, increase the resistance to sickness and restore harmony.
