Ayurvedic Massage

Ayurvedic massage is a type of massage that is performed to promote and stimulate the psycho-physical well-being of the individual.

According to Ayurvedic philosophy, the manipulation technique used to perform the massage in question represents the means by which it is possible to achieve balance and perfect harmony between body and mind. Always according to Ayurveda, in fact, each part of the body is influenced by three main bioenergies, the so-called doshas (called Vata, Pitta and Kapha). Therefore, an imbalance of these energies would lead to the appearance of different types of disorders, varying depending on the dosha in question and the part of the body affected.

Ayurvedic massage involves performing manipulations in different areas of the body. In addition to promoting blood circulation, it improves the circulation of vital fluids with the consequent achievement of a new harmony between body and mind.
