Question: How should I prepare for my treatment?

For your massage appointment, it's best to arrive about 10 minutes early to settle in and relax. It is best to shower or bath before your treatment if possible and since your treatment involves special oils, it's advisable to avoid wearing strong fragrances, like perfume or heavily scented lotions, which could affect the treatment's efficacy.

​

Question: Can I eat before treatment?

To optimise the effects of your massage, it's recommended to avoid eating heavy meals before your session. If you're feeling very hungry, a light snack is preferable to ensure you're comfortable and not distracted by hunger during the treatment.

​

Question: What should I wear for the treatment?

For your massage, wear loose fitting comfortable clothes. As it's advised to let the Ayurvedic oils remain on your skin post-treatment, avoid wearing expensive clothes that might get oil stains.

​

Question: Do I need to bring anything to the treatment?

All you need to bring is an open mind to fully embrace the relaxing and nurturing experience of Ayurvedic therapy. Your Massage Therapist will guide you through a blissful journey, so simply come prepared to relax and enjoy the treatment.

​

Question: What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Oh boy, You asked for this and is our pleasure to give you a full and complete answer to what and how the massage will benefit you according to Ayurveda...

1. Improves old age:

Ayurvedic massage is believed to counteract aging by nourishing the body's seven tissues: plasma (Rasa), blood (Rakta), muscle (Mamsa), fat (Medas), bone (Asthi), marrow (Majja), and reproductive tissue (Shukra). This holistic approach rejuvenates the body at a cellular level.

​

2. Reduces fatigue:

Fatigue, whether from physical or mental strain, can result from overexerting specific muscles or engaging in unfamiliar activities. The type of massage recommended varies based on the nature of the fatigue experienced, ensuring a tailored approach to rejuvenate and restore energy.

​

3. Takes away excess wind: 

Reduces excess Vata, by addressing excess Vata, Ayurvedic treatments aim to restore balance, enhancing physical mobility, stabilising digestion, and promoting overall well-being.

​

4. Improves eyesight:

In Ayurvedic massage, improving eyesight is often associated with the balancing of internal systems and enhanced overall wellness. The belief is that massaging certain points on the body can stimulate nerve connections and improve circulation, potentially having a positive effect on eye health. The head, neck, and foot massages in particular are thought to benefit the eyes due to their close nerve connections. However, it's important to note that while Ayurveda offers holistic wellness practices, improvements in eyesight should also be supported by conventional eye care methods.

​

5. Strengthens the body:

Ayurvedic massage, using oils, enhances body circulation and the flow of vital life fluids, including pranic energy. This process not only revitalizes the body's energy but also aids in detoxifying by expelling toxins and replenishing cells with nutrients and prana. Such techniques strengthen the body and immune system, thereby boosting stamina and vitality.

​

6. Increases longevity:

Ayurvedic massage transcends mere relaxation, forging an electrochemical harmony within the body. This majestic ritual bolsters the immune system and purges toxins, potentially extending longevity. It confronts the modern scourges of stress and anxiety, countering their acidic toll on our bodies. The ancient wisdom of balancing the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, is harnessed to rejuvenate life's essence. Infused with potent herbs and spices, the sacred oils penetrate deeply, nourishing the body and soul, and awakening an inner vitality that resonates with the rhythms of the earth.

​

7. Gives you wonderful sleep and dreams:

Ayurvedic massage, particularly head massage, is renowned for its sleep-inducing qualities. Gentle techniques like rubbing, tapping, and pressing, especially on the feet, are known to calm the mind. This makes it an ideal remedy for those struggling with insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns, providing a natural and soothing approach to encourage deeper and more restful sleep.

​

8. Enhances skin resilience and health:

The Ayurvedic oil massage is an enchanting ritual that transforms the skin into a canvas of smoothness and radiance. This luxurious treatment deeply nourishes, banishing the dryness that heralds an imbalance in Vata. Particularly for those with Vata-dominant constitutions, characterized by dry, rough skin, this oil massage is not just a luxury but a necessity. It transcends mere skincare; as the oils penetrate, they harmonise with the body's natural rhythms, particularly for Vata types, who absorb these life-giving elixirs more profoundly than others. This is an epic journey of rejuvenation, not just for the skin, but for the body's very essence.

​

9. Boosts immunity against illness and disease:

Applying measured pressure through massage enhances the body's disease resistance. It stimulates antibody production, bolstering the seven vital tissues, or 'dhatus', which in turn strengthens the immune system and nerves. This process not only aids in physical health but also builds mental resilience, equipping one to better handle life's challenges and stresses.

​

10. Alleviates discomfort from wind and mucous imbalances:

Ayurvedic oil massage is recognised as an effective treatment for conditions stemming from imbalances in vata and kapha doshas. This traditional approach is particularly helpful in calming ailments associated with these elemental forces in the body.
