Ayurvedic massage - utilising the effects of warm oil

Apart from working in depth with the lymphatic system and the energy channels through the receptors, the Ayurvedic massage uses warm oil, which is heated to body temperature so that the skin better absorbs it into the deeper layers. This feeds the skin from within. The intensity and type of massage and the choice of oil - depends on the patient's body constitution.

Do not eat a large meal or drink alcohol before the massage. After the massage, which lasts one hour, it is a good idea to lie under warm towels for a while; the relaxation will increase the absorption of beneficial herbs or oil. Despite removing excess oil with a paper towel, you should be aware that the oil may get into your hair. A shower is available on site, so it's a good idea to bring your own bath towel and flip-flops, alternatively bring clothes that can get a little greasy, and in the case of a head massage, a head covering. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please let us know when you enrol so that we can choose the type of massage that is right for you.
