A head massage not only offers sensory pleasures but also stimulates hair follicles and improves blood circulation in the scalp. It’s a great stress-buster after a busy week at work, and depending on the choice of oil, a head massage may reduce the symptoms of migraine, calm your tense nerves, promote relaxation and improve your sleep. Recommended in ancient Ayurvedic texts, a gentle head massage with oil may prevent issues like hair thinning, hair loss and other hair-related problems. The duration of an Ayurvedic scalp massage is anywhere between 30 and 45 minutes and is recommended once every two weeks.
Lack of proper care and nourishment can make your skin look dull and dry over time. Ayurvedic face massage can rejuvenate your skin and bring back your natural, youthful glow. Mukhabhyangam is a gentle face and neck massage that is performed using specialised techniques and Ayurvedic oils based on your skin type. In addition to its beauty benefits, Mukhabhyangam involves applying gentle pressure to the three magic spots, which are temples, around the eyes and behind the ears. This can help by sending a soothing sensation to the brain, which in turn, promotes relaxation and improves blood circulation.
Relax your body with a soothing oil massage followed by a body pack application that is made of herbs for skin nourishment and detoxification. Other benefits include scar reduction, skin softening and natural skin brightening. The procedure starts with gentle kneading along the energy channels to release muscle tension in your neck, back and shoulders. After applying lepam all over the body, the banana leaves are wrapped around the skin to retain the warmth.
