Often, a massage session begins with the following remark “I have seen the different massages but I do not know which one to choose”.
Well, if you too are asking yourself the question, or if you are simply wondering what the differences are between the different massages, here is the answer. All Ayurvedic massages will nourish your skin and tissues in depth because of the Ayurvedic oil used during the treatment. All massages will also soothe and relax you by acting on your body and your mind. But each of them allows you to meet specific needs.
Do you want to discover the Ayurvedic massage par excellence ?
Try the abhyanga!
This is the most famous Ayurvedic massage, it is perfect if it is the first time you have an Ayurvedic massage.
It will bring you general well-being. It improves digestion, sleep quality but also soothes the nervous system. In Ayurveda, it is said that you should do an abhyanga in self-massage every day because the benefits are so important.
You can do an abhyanga during all the year. The seasons of autumn and winter are particularly beneficial for doing an abhyanga. These seasons are synonymous with aggravation of the Vata dosha responsible for digestive problems, dryness, stress and fatigue.
Do you want to stimulate your lymphatic circulation ?
Try Garshan and Udvartan treatments!
If you suffer from weight problems, cellulite, water retention or a congested body, your lymphatic circulation needs to be boosted.
Garshan treatment is performed with wild silk gloves. The body is exfoliated using the gloves with rapid friction.
Udvartan treatment consists of slow and superficial movements aimed at reproducing the circulation of lymph in order to stimulate it.
You can perform these treatments whenever you feel the need or in spring, the season of accumulation of the Kapha dosha, responsible for this feeling of heaviness and storage in the body.
Do you want to try a meditative treatment ?
Try the sattvic treatment!
Halfway between massage and treatment, it is an invitation to meditation.
The movements are gentle, slow and relaxing. The goal is to reconnect you with your body and the present moment. It allows a complete relaxation of the body and a deep calming.
You can try this sattvic massage all year round if you want to try a treatment different from traditional massages.
Are you a woman who knows the joys of motherhood ?
Try the Ayurvedic massage for pregnant women.
It helps relieve pregnant women from certain ailments related to their pregnancy (swelling, pain, feelings of heaviness).
Try the massage for postpartum women. If you have just given birth and are breastfeeding your baby, this massage will accompany you in your breastfeeding. It helps drain and decongest the body and tame your new body.
Ayurvedic massages now have no more secrets for you. All you have to do is try them!
