What is Ayurvedic Massage (Abhyanga) - Techniques and Principles?

Ayurveda, the ancient science of healing from India, has always utilized massage as a part of its regimens for healing. From an Ayurvedic perspective, different forms of massage are useful to different people. The form of massage utilized is based upon a person’s constitution and imbalance. One’s constitution is the inherent balance of energies in his or her body and mind. In Ayurveda these are quantified in the understanding of the doshas. There are three doshas known as vata, pitta, and kapha. These three energies control the formation and functions of the body on the physical and emotional levels. In harmony the body is healthy, but as the doshas/three energies move out of harmony the body expresses itself in the form of disease. Each individual has their own unique balance of these energies. As a result, each individual expresses himself differently in the world.

This Therapy of Ayurvedic Abhyanga is designed to balance the five elements which in turn balances the three Body Humours/Energies Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
