Massages and their significance!

 Massaging the body with ayurvedic massage oils helps to stimulate the internal functions of the body while providing nourishment to different body tissues. Oils also offers lubrication to skin and tissue. Working at both physical and mental levels, Ayurvedic massage oils can help  increase both the assimilation of food as well as the vital body fluids. An Ayurvedic massage is also useful for treating various illness and fatigue pertaining to skin, muscles, nerves and even hair.

Lymphatic stimulation with Ayurvedic herbal oils help squeeze out toxic accumulation from channels. Hence it is DETOXIFYING massage.
