Ayurveda Hot Compress Massage

Ayurveda traditions date back more than 2500 years in India, emphasising prevention of illness, rather than the treatment of symptoms. Natural herbal treatments are regularly used in Ayurveda, including this hot compress massage consisting of a series of massage compressions. A perfect compliment to yoga classes on your yoga retreat holiday, what makes this session unique is the application of traditional steamed hot herbal bundles. These traditional bundles utilise over twenty wonderful healing herbs including Lemon Grass, Camphor, Wild Lime, Patchouli, Prai Ginger, Tamarind leaves and Turmeric oil. As they are steamed, the heat is extremely effective in penetrating deep into your muscles to dissipate tension and pain. This ancient massage technique promotes the body’s flow of energy, rejuvenates the skin, strengthens the body’s metabolism and releases toxins.
