What Are the Benefits of a Full Massage in Ayurveda for Detox and Relaxation? - #14397
I have been looking for a complete body therapy that helps in deep relaxation, muscle recovery, and stress relief, and I recently came across the concept of a full massage in Ayurveda, which is said to offer physical and emotional healing. However, I am unsure how Ayurvedic full-body massages differ from regular massages and what their specific benefits are. Some of the most well-known Ayurvedic full-body massage therapies include Abhyanga, a warm oil massage for detoxification, Pizhichil, where warm oil is poured over the body for deep relaxation, Kizhi, a herbal pouch massage for pain relief, and Udvartana, a dry powder massage for weight loss and skin rejuvenation. Many Ayurveda experts recommend pairing full-body massages with steam therapy (Swedana) for enhanced benefits. However, I want to know whether these massages only offer short-term relaxation or if they also provide long-term health improvements. For those who have experienced Ayurvedic full massages, which techniques provided the best stress relief, muscle healing, and energy restoration? Would love insights into the best full-body massage techniques in Ayurveda and whether they provide lasting health benefits.
