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

For thousands of years, massage therapy has been used as a powerful tool in the healing process. The simple gesture of touch has the ability to transform both mental and physical conditions, easing pain and restoring balance to the entire body.

What is Ayurvedic Massage?

A brief history of Ayurvedic Massage

Ayurvedic massage, known as ‘Abhyanga’ in Sanskrit, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. It is an integral part of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine and holistic wellness. The roots of Ayurvedic massage can be traced to the Vedas, some of the world's oldest texts, where it was documented as a therapeutic practice for promoting physical and mental well-being. 

Over time, Ayurvedic scholars and practitioners refined and developed various massage techniques, often using herbal oils and specialised strokes tailored to an individual's constitution (dosha).

Ayurvedic massage aims to balance the body's energies, improve circulation, alleviate stress, and support overall health. Today, it remains a vital component of Ayurvedic medicine and is practiced worldwide for its rejuvenating and healing properties.

What makes Ayurvedic massage unique?

Ayurda massage is rooted in the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, which takes a holistic approach to wellness.

It considers the connection of the body, mind, and soul, aiming to restore balance and harmony in all aspects of life.

Ayurvedic massage techniques involve flowing strokes that stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting the elimination of toxins and waste materials from the body.


This cleansing aspect of Ayurvedic massage helps to boost the immune system and provide more oxygen to the system which counters fatigue and tiredness.

Ayurvedic massage such as our Abhyanga and Moksha treatments work with the body's energy channels, known as nadis, and energy points, called marma points.
Similar in concept to acupuncture points.
By stimulating these points and balancing these pathways, our massage aims to promote the smooth flow of vital energy (prana) throughout the body, enhancing overall health and vitality.

Alongside the use of warm, herbally medicated oils, we offer specific treatments that are beneficial for skin concerns on the body and face.


Our Ayurvedic facials include the use of our purely natural skincare products tailored to your skin type and combined with unique massage strokes, as well as marma-point stimulation to renew and reawaken your skins vibrance.

Massage therapy is like giving your body a service—addressing the knots and tensions, fine-tuning the muscles, and ensuring a smoother journey through the road of life.

It’s a necessary part of health in Ayurveda, a natural part of your lifestyle. Regular massage treatments help your body to rejuvenate before issues worsen, and compliment your healing journey if they do.

How can massage contribute to a healthy, vibrant lifestyle?

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.

Each and every blend is hand-crafted in small batches to maintain integrity and freshness. All essential oils and raw materials are impeccably chosen to ensure the highest grade possible. No artificial colours, phthalates, Parabens, or synthetic fillers (like fragrance) are ever used, which means NO harsh ingredients that strip the skin

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.

The gentle yet effective massage techniques in Ayurveda improve 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.

For those suffering from chronic pain or discomfort, Ayurvedic massage can provide relief by addressing the root causes of pain, such as muscle tension or inflammation. Regular massage can provide relief from chronic pain conditions such as muscle tension, back pain, and arthritis. It helps improve circulation, relax muscles, and alleviate discomfort, reducing the need for pain medications.

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 in Ayurvedic massage 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.

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.
