Ayurvedic massage is more than an exotic escape. It’s a gateway to enhanced well-being.

Regular massage can help identify and address potential health issues before they become more serious. It’s like getting service for your car, serving as a form of preventative care by maintaining overall balance and health. Ayurvedic massage nourishes your 7 layers of tissues, lubricates your joints and rids your body of toxins and aches before they build up and develop into a serious health concern. Our therapists will often recommend another suitable treatment, or a consultation with our expert, if they notice that you may be blocked in certain areas, experiencing stubborn knots or aches, or other health conditions.

Ayurvedic massage utilises specific strokes and herbal oils chosen to pacify the nervous system, inducing a deep state of relaxation. Reduced stress levels can have far-reaching benefits, from improved sleep to enhanced cognitive function.  Massage therapy helps reduce stress by promoting the release of endorphins, which are natural mood elevators. Lowering stress levels can have a significant positive impact on overall health, as chronic stress is linked to various health issues.

Ayurvedic massage always begins from the feet, moving upward and around, following the route of circulation and towards areas of lymphatic release. This naturally improves circulation, aiding in the efficient transport of nutrients and oxygen to cells while removing toxins. This can contribute to better cellular health and vitality. Massage enhances blood flow and lymphatic circulation, which aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and the removal of metabolic waste products. This can help keep your system strong, clear and contribute to better overall health and a stronger immune system.

Detoxification is a vital aspect of Ayurvedic massage, as it actively stimulates the lymphatic system, facilitating the elimination of accumulated waste and harmful toxins from the body. This meticulous detoxification process is pivotal in bolstering the immune system and promoting overall health by enabling your body to operate at its optimal capacity.

By enhancing lymphatic flow and aiding in the removal of impurities, Ayurvedic massage not only supports immune function but also promotes the efficient functioning of various bodily systems. Movement of strong circulation dislodges toxins and moves it to your gut/intestines and bladder to be released. This, in turn, contributes to an improved state of well-being, helping you to feel rejuvenated and energised as your body rids itself of toxins.

Abdominal massage, a common component of Ayurvedic treatments, can help improve digestive function, reduce bloating, and alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort. According to Vedic philosophy, there are 72,000 nadis (energy pathways) that govern every cell in our body, originating from the belly button. This abdominal massage taps into this profound wisdom. Gentle pressure and rhythmic strokes are applied to the abdominal area. This helps stimulate the muscles of the digestive tract, including the stomach and intestines, promoting peristalsis (wave-like contractions) and aiding in the movement of food and waste through the digestive system.

Ayurvedic massage not only soothes the body but also calms the mind. It can be particularly helpful for individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, or mood imbalances. Massage has a calming and soothing effect on the nervous system. It can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, leading to improved emotional well-being.

The use of high-quality herbal oils promotes skin health by moisturising and nourishing the skin with the therapeutic properties of specially selected herbs. This can lead to a radiant complexion and improved skin texture. We also offer exfoliating massage treatments that can renew your skin complexion and texture, targeting cellulite and water retention. Add time for a herbal steam for extra detoxification and skin glow. 

Lymphatic facial massage and marma-point activation use during our facials are combined with our purely natural skincare range to give your facial skin and muscles complete refresh.

Massage helps maintain muscle health and flexibility. It can prevent muscle imbalances, reduce the risk of injuries, and improve posture. Regular massage can help prevent muscle imbalances by addressing areas of tension or weakness, ensuring that the muscles work harmoniously and reducing the risk of overuse or injury. After physical activity or strenuous exercise, Ayurvedic massage can also aid in muscular recovery. The gentle manipulation of muscles helps alleviate post-exercise soreness, reduce inflammation, and improve the body's ability to repair and regenerate muscle tissues.

Many people find that regular massage improves the quality of their sleep by reducing stress, relieving muscle tension and promoting the release of our feel-good hormones. Good sleep is essential for overall health, as it supports physical and mental rejuvenation which allows us to function at our best each day. Our Shirodhara treatment is also known to support those who suffer from disrupted sleep and insomnia, while soothing anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Some studies suggest that regular massage may boost the immune system by increasing the production of natural killer cells, which help defend the body against viruses and cancer.

For those with limited mobility, such as athletes or individuals with chronic conditions, regular massage can improve joint flexibility and range of motion. Certain treatments such as the Vishuddhi (Kizhi Bolus) treatment is particularly beneficial for naturally managed joint health and conditions such as Arthritis.
