Manual therapies
according to Ayurveda
Various body therapies have been developed in Ayurveda over the millennia. They play a central role because even back then people were aware of the effects on the skin.
The aim is to release blockages, promote blood circulation and harmonise the energy in the body.
This is achieved with pure, high-quality herbal oils, body infusions, oil compresses, stamp treatments, stretches, joint mobilisations and pressure point massages - targeted treatment of
so-called "marma points" (important energy points on the surface of the body).
An important aspect of manual therapy is the individualised approach to each person.
This includes physical disorders as well as psychological and emotional aspects.
The aim of manual therapy is therefore not only to alleviate acute complaints, but also to improve your long-term health and therefore your well-being.
Some well-known therapy methods
These are four examples of a diverse range of manual therapies in Ayurveda that are available to us and can be customized to the individual's needs.
Abhyanga - gentle body oiling
The whole body is pampered with warm, high-quality herbal oils. The oil penetrates deep into the tissue, stimulating the metabolism and lymphatic system and thus supporting the detoxification of
the body. Warm oil and touch have a calming and balancing effect on the nervous system and help to relax.
Light stretches during the massage also contribute to deep relaxation.
Kalari - the dynamic South Indian oil massage
The Kaladi massage is a full body massage that was traditionally performed in India with hands and feet on a floor mat. The massage was intended to prepare warriors for battle, to achieve inner
peace, balance and self-confidence. It is therefore a very dynamic, powerful massage with lots of stretching, which relieves muscle tension, stimulates the cardiovascular system and improves
joint mobility.
Pristabhyanga - for a strong back
This is the classic Ayurvedic back massage. Medicated herbal oils are also used here. The back, chest and gluteal muscles are worked intensively to loosen the muscles, stimulate circulation and
release blockages in the back.
Pinda Sveda - treatment with heated herbal pouches
The herbs are individually customised to the complaints. Treatment is also carried out with high-quality herbal oils. This therapy method is effective against muscle tension, stimulates the lymph
flow and is also effective for aching joints.
