Ayurvedic Massage Therapy
While ayurvedic massage therapy does not generally provide a complete
therapeutic cure, it does help the organism to receive nutrient
material from within the body and to expel toxins.
Certain ailments related to the muscles, ligaments
and nervous system can be completely healed through good ayurvedic
massage therapy. In diseases caused by deranged vata,
massage therapy can also be the only remedy. In diseases caused
by deranged pitta
and kapha, ayurvedic massage therapy compliments other
healing methods.
In ayurvedic massage therapy, the practisioner
mostly works with the knowledge of the marmas
or indian pressure points.

blood pressure, sciatica, paralysis, polio and insomnia. In
all these cases, the massage practisioner should however also
prescribe specific medication, changes in daily habits, excercises,
etc..
