Definition:
Massage can be defined to be a kind of a passive exercise, involving the use of oils and herbal lotions to rejuvenate the body cells. It is a key to good health if practiced on regular basis. Massage helps opening up the skin pores and even removing the dead cells from the body, allowing the skin to feel fresh and comfortable.
Massage oil or lotion must b chosen very wisely, according to the season and body requirements. Ayurveda considers Sesame oil to be fit for a massage on the body all the year long. In winters a massage with mustard oil is also recommended. Using mustard oil in summers is not prescribed generally, but to only those people who have regularly been using mustard oil for massages.
Massage Techniques:
Massage can be done in two obvious ways, the first one being self massage and the other one involves getting a massage done by some one else. A massage can begin either from the head or from the toe. Generally a self massage begins from the toe, ant then to the legs, hands abdomen and so on to the head at the end. The opposite sequence is generally followed in the case of getting a massage done.
First of all oil is applied on the body part to be massaged and then is gently massaged till the oil penetrates into the body completely. The preferred ayurvedic massage technique involves concentrating over the muscles instead of the bones in upward motion strokes being employed. To massage different organs of the body different finger and palm postures are employed.
The person should take a massage empty stomach, early in the morning or in evening. After waiting for about 30 - 40 minutes of the massage washing off the oil is suggested. Massage to the patients suffering from the disorders related to Kapha, or even fever should not get a massage done. It is also not suggested to people who have recently been under taking ayuvedic cleansing therapies.
