The term Ayurveda loosely means "the science of life". This treatment method has been perfected over 5000 years and is known to be South Asia's very own method of medicine that is based on the use of herbs.
Who doesn't love an invigorating body massage? The Ayurvedic body massage incorporates oil on one's body. If you choose the abhyanga massage type, then this is primarily used for relaxation which in turns helps to tone your muscles and promote circulation of blood. Regular practice will make muscles stronger and also help relieve stress and fatigue. The message also helps treat certain ailments of the nervous system. The treatment takes about 30 to 40 minutes generally. If you're looking for accommodation that provides Ayurvedic treatments, then boutique hotels in Sri Lanka, especially those on the coast such as Saman Villas, offer some good spa facilities.
Head oil massages are also another favourite among massage enthusiasts. However, in Ayurvedic Head Oil massage treatments, the massage isn't just for relaxation. There are several other benefits added on, all depending on the oil you use. The message can help with circulation of blood and also help with a migraine and persistent headache. The oil massage can help with balding, premature greying and growth of hair. It doesn't end there. These massages improve complexion and eyesight too. People suffering from hemiplegia and facial paralysis have found that these massages helped improve their condition.
Ayurvedic treatments can also be incorporated as part of your beauty regime. Facial treatments under Ayurveda can help smooth wrinkles on your face and achieve clear skin that you've always dreamed of.
