10 Common Myths About Ayurvedic Massage – Busted!

Ayur Sparsham- Real Ayurvedic massage in Kochi

The ancient technique of Ayurveda healing has been a well known healing procedure in India and across the world. Ayurvedic massage (Abhyanga) is one of its fundamental treatments which re balances and purifies the body by the application of warm herbal oils. However, it is still surrounded by numerous myths that mislead people about the power of this tradition.

In Ayur Sparsham, the Ayurvedic wellness center that people of Kochi trust, we come to the rescue and make things clear. Time to burst the most popular myths about Ayurvedic massage and reveal what is hidden behind this ancient treatment.

Myth :1 Ayurvedic Massage is identical to the Regular Spa Massage

Fact: Ayurvedic massage has nothing to do with a conventional massage at the spa. It is not only a relaxing massage because it also works Marma points and detoxifies the body, simultaneously balancing your doshas (Vata Pitta Kapha) by using special prepared oils made of herbs. It is as well as curative and preventive.

Myth :2 It is Only Sick People That Need It

The truth: Ayurvedic massage is effective when it comes to the treatment of health issues, but it can also be a very effective prevention tool. It makes the overall well-being better by:

• Boosting immunity
• Supporting sleep
• Improving circulation
• Revitalizations on the skin
• Stress and anxiety reduction
• It makes you stay healthy even when you are healthy.

Myth 3: It Is Just Useful For the Old People Only

Fact: Ayurvedic massage is useful to people of any age. We have clients in their 30s, 20s or 40s at Ayur Sparsham who come in either to relieve their stress, improve their skin or just to get relaxed. Light, tailor made Ayurveda massage would also help reinforce immunity and focus even among teens and young adults.

Myth 4: It is Oily and Greasy

Reality: warm medicated oils used in Ayurvedic massage are very healing and nourishing. In Ayur Sparsham, we ensure that the oils are cleaned thoroughly after your session and you leave not feeling greasy, soft and rejuvenated.

We use quality oils, which are also skin-friendly and added with your choice of herb (based on your body type); Ashwagandha, Bala, and Brahmi.

Myth 5: Scientific Evidence is nonexistent

Truth: Ayurvedic massage has support of contemporary scientific studies. Research proves that it:

• Reduces cortisol (the stress hormone)
• Enhanced circulation of blood
• Increases the lymphatic drainage
• Helps in promoting good sleep and digestion

Actually, Ayurveda is considered a traditional system of medicine by World Health Organization (WHO).

One of the myths is One Session Is Enough

Reality: Although a one off session can be used to make you relaxed, a constant practice is what results in long-lasting benefits. And as with yoga or meditation, routine is the most important. With time, Ayurvedic massage will assist with:

• Chronic fatigue
• Joint stiffness
• Skin dullness
• Mental fog
• Emotional stress

To meet your health requirements, we usually advise you to meet us weekly or monthly.

Myth 07: Any Oil Will Just Suffice

The fact: Ayurvedic massage involves the use of personalized oils derived based on ancient herbs in order to regulate your personal dosha type. Applying an incorrect oil may as well exacerbate imbalance.

Every time, at Ayur Sparsham we start a session with a consultation to choose the appropriate oil among our inventory of herb infused medicated oils.

Myth 8: It is Women Only

Reality: An ayurvedic massage is available to all and sundry, irrespective of sex. At Ayur Sparsham we habitually greet male customers and they visit us because:

• Sports recovery
• Stress relief
• Back pain
• Better sleep
• Care of the hair and skin

We also have special scale of treatments meant to suit the needs of men in wellness.

Myth 9: You Have To Be Naked All the Way

Reality: Your privacy and comfort comes assured at Ayur Sparsham. The practices used by our trained therapists are controlled draping and demeaning environment.

All you will have to do is to bare the parts receiving treatment and we will maintain professional boundaries.

Myth 10: It is Religious or Spiritual

Fact: The ancient spiritual practices of India are where Ayurveda originated, but the Ayurvedic massage practice is a natural health measure- not a religious process. Anybody of any kind, religious and cultural background can use it without a belief system.

It is a healing of the body, of the mind and of balance.
