Ayurveda (from the Sanskrit language “ajur” – life, “veda” – knowledge) – it is more than 5 thousand. years of science about health, full life, knowledge of how to preserve beauty and resist disease. It is a science not only about massages, but also about maintaining health, herbal treatments, breathing exercises, body cleansing techniques, color, smell and music therapy, and the psychology of life.

According to Ayurveda, it would take half an hour before sunrise and the sun to set, about 9 pm to 10 pm. Because from 9 p.m. until midnight the brain rests, their centers are restored, and then only the body rests. This Eastern wisdom has also been confirmed by Western medicine. According to Ayurveda, the energies surrounding the earth change at certain intervals. Therefore, getting up early in the morning at 4-5, especially in the warm season, is very useful, because the energy of joy flows to the ground at that time. After 5-6 p.m. we get energy for health and harmony. 6-7 p.m. we still get energy to help fight diseases, and when we wake up later we seem to climb a mountain because we resist the rhythms of nature. In the evening, good energy declines. There are many ways to conserve and maintain this energy. One of them is Ayurvedic massage.
Ayurvedic massage is also known as abhyanga. The word “abhyanga”, translated from the Indian language, means oil massage. Ayurvedic differs from classical massage in that it is a massage not only to maintain the body, but also the mind, feelings and a stable emotional state. These massages balance emotions, soothe the mind, remove toxins, rejuvenate cells. Ayurvedic massages are very subtle because the body is not touched by the fingers but only by a stream of oil. This requires a great deal of skill – the oil must be poured from a certain height and a certain temperature, which is determined by the type of person, and the same oil cannot be used a second time. Ayurvedic massages should be performed by good specialists, otherwise only about 10% will be obtained. massage benefits.
Before Ayurvedic massage, it is important to communicate with a person and feel him. About 20 minutes are allowed before the procedures. Depending on the person, not only the oil is selected, but also the pace of the massage and the strength of the clicks. Before the massages, a salt bath is usually done for the feet. Everything has to be done according to the human character. This is another fundamental difference from classical massage, where concentration is less important. It is advisable not to wash for a few hours after the Ayurvedic massage, as the oils remain effective for a long time, and the use of soap for the first time in the shower is not recommended. Ayurvedic massages stimulate the production of antibodies that help strengthen the immune system and fight disease. Stress usually accumulates in the lower legs, sacrum and occiput. As a result, a lot of attention is paid to these areas during massage.
