WHAT IS THE AYURVEDIC MASSAGE?

From time out of mind, the man possesses a wonderful tool of diagnosis and therapy: his hands.
The hand is the most sophisticated receptor that we possess for practicing our sense of the touch.
When ultrasounds, X rays and CT didn't exist, the man relied upon his hands that worked for instinct and intuition using techniques that evolved thanks to a rigorous practice. This allowed him to interpret the body language allowing to obviate to the deficiencies that it accused.
Unlike the modern world, anciently the people didn't wait for to get sick for taking care themselves, but they adopted a physical, mental and spiritual hygiene of life that allowed them to maintain their state of health as much as possible near to the equilibrium.
The expression "in apparent good health" for them was totally unknown!

The term "Ayurveda" means "knowledge of the life". This knowledge derives from the observation of nature that offers the keys to the reading of all codes that are to the origin of the life.
Once understood this code, the man elaborated some tools that allowed the maintenance of the homeostasis of the systems govern the human body.

The Abhyangam is a technique that contemplates different methods of accomplishment depending on tradition and Indian zones.
In Kerala, the ancient tradition linked to the body care of the fighters (particularly famous in this region, begins the massage starting from the sacral region. Application of oil is practiced after having stimulated the tissues with movements of percussion and friction.
In southern Kerala, the Abhyangam begins from the head, shirobhyanga, and then to pass, in supine position, to feet, legs, hands, arms, abdomen, chest, back and side returning then on the abdomen.
The our Abhyangam follows the Sri Govindan's progression.
