Why Ayurveda ?

For thousands of years the Indian traditional medicine called Ayurveda has been treating diseases and maintaining health and vigor. More than everything, Ayurveda promotes health and stability, physical, mental and emotional welfare.

MASSAGE S AND TRADITIONAL THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES WITH OILS:

According to Ayurveda, the oils used for massages do not limit their therapeutic action to the skin. The oils and the herbs in the oils enter the skin and nourish the different tissues that form the body.

ABHYANGA - The traditional massage done with the help of medicated oils is used to vitalize the body and tone up the nervous system.

Let yourself be infused by the healing power of hands that run from your head to your toes spreading the hot oil in a deep layer that makes you slip into a complete state of relaxation. By pressing the vital points called “marma”, the energetic obstructions will be eliminated. The massage along the meridians allows the vital energy to flow freely yet again. Abhyanga eliminates toxins, regulates the blood circulation and the flow of the lymph, fortifies digestion and muscles, reinforces and maintains the flexibility of the joints. It is usually followed by sauna or steam bath in order to facilitate the oil absorption and thus activate the toxic residues to be eliminated from the body.

SYNCHRONIZED ABHYANGA - The four-hand massage is used to get more than the double from the quality of this experience.

The applications with medicated hot oil fortify the immunity system and favor the self-healing processes.

The three vital principles called doshas are being balanced and this makes you experience a state of inner harmony, a state of serenity and bliss just like a newborn baby.

Details for oil therapies:
As we age our blood starts to stagnate and our skin starts to dry out. The blood stagnation can also be referred to as poor circulation. One practical way to deal with this phenomenon is to keep exercising, resisting the onslaught of inertia. Both of these matters can be helped greatly by giving ourselves a daily massage and using more oil externally in general. The following are some ideas taken from an Ayurvedic Newsletter from Banyan Botanicals on Abhyanga, Ayurvedic oil massage. This article was by Dr. Claudia Welch. "The body of one who uses oil massage regularly does not become affected much even if subjected to accidental injuries, or strenuous work. By using oil massage daily, a person is endowed with pleasant touch, trimmed body parts and becomes strong, charming and least affected by old age." Charaka Samhita Vol. 1, V: 88-89. The Charaka Samhita is the fundamental text for the practice of Ayurvedic medicine, the Ancient wisdom of India. Abhyanga is the anointing of the body with oil. Often medicated and usually warm, the oil is massaged into the entire body before bathing. For thousands of years, people have used abhyanga to maintain health, benefit sleep patterns, and increase longevity. It has also been used as a medicine for certain disorders. Abhyanga can be incorporated into a routine appropriate for almost anyone. The Sanskrit word sneha can be translated as both "oil" and "love. It is believed that the effects of abhyanga are similar to those received when one is saturated with love. Like the experience of being loved, abhyanga can give a deep feeling of stability and warmth. Sneha is subtle; this allows the oil/love to pass through minute channels in the body and penetrate deep layers of tissue. Ayurveda teaches that there are seven layers of tissue in the body: 1) plasma; 2) blood; 3) muscle; 4) adipose (fat) tissue; 5) bone; 6) nerve tissue and bone marrow; and, 7) reproductive tissue. Each successive layer is more concentrated and life-giving than the previous. For sneha to reach the deepest layer, it is believed that it must be massaged into the body for roughly five minutes. To give this kind of attention to your entire body, you may need about fifteen-minutes. Considering the benefits that have been gained by people for thousands of years, fifteen-minutes per day is a minimal amount of time. Benefits of applying oil to the body which are outlined in three major Ayurvedic texts: Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hrdayam - Produces softness, strength and color to the body - Decreases the effects of aging - Bestows good vision - Nourishes the body - Increases longevity - Benefits sleep patterns - Benefits skin - Strengthens the body's tolerance - Imparts a firmness to the limbs - Imparts tone and vigor to the tissues of the body - Stimulates the internal organs of the body, including circulation - Pacifies vata and pitta and harmonizes kapha. Benefits of applying oil to the scalp: - Makes hair grow luxuriantly, thick, soft and glossy - Soothes and invigorates the sense organs - Removes facial wrinkles.

Benefits of applying oil to the ears: - Benefit disorders in the ear which are due to increased Vata - Benefits stiff neck - Benefits stiffness in the jaw Benefits of applying oil to the feet: - Coarseness, stiffness, roughness, fatigue and numbness of the feet are alleviated - Strength and firmness of the feet are attained - Vision is enhanced - Vata is pacified - Sciatica is benefitted - Local veins and ligaments are benefited. Vata Pacifying application of oil: The primary qualities of vata are dry, light, cool, rough, subtle and mobile. Most of these qualities are opposite to those of oil. This is why warm oil is especially good for pacifying vata. If your vata is high, either in your constitution or present imbalance, doing daily oil application can be highly beneficial, even life-changing. Sushruta says, "The deranged vata of the body is restored to its normal condition by the help of massage." Do abhyanga in a warm place. Place the bottle of oil in a pan of hot water until the oil is pleasantly warm. - Sit or stand comfortably in a warm room, on a towel that you don't mind ruining with oil accumulation. Beginning at the extremities and working toward the middle of the body. Use long strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints. Massage the abdomen and chest in broad, clockwise, circular motions. - Apply oil to the crown of your head and work slowly out in circular strokes. Put a couple drops of warm oil on the tip of your little finger or on a cotton ball and apply to the opening of the ear canal. Actually oil can and should be applied to every orifice every day. It just so happens that the Ayurveda carries medicated oils for the constitutions of vata, pitta or kapha. Also, Brahmi - oil the head, Arthemisia - oil for entire skin, Mahanarayan taila - oil for joint pain, Anu taila - oil for the nasal therapy and oil especially designed to rub in your hair and feet before retiring at night.
