An Introduction to Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word, derived from two roots: ayur, which means life, and veda, knowledge. Knowledge arranged systematically with logic becomes science. During the due course of time, Ayurveda became the science of life. It has its root in ancient vedic literature and encompasses our entire life, the body, mind and spirit.

REJUVENATING AYURVEDIC MASSAGE

In Rejuvenating Ayurvedic Massage a therapist uses a combination of pressure and stretching techniques using special medicated oils. It stimulates blood circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid. It also helps in releasing toxins and deep seated tensions from the muscles. Also it stimulates the hormonal and the immune system, and acts on the nervous system allowing you to relax deeply and to get in touch with your own healing power. Stretching massage and other techniques create flexibility and balance in the body, both at a physical and an energy level.
