Details: This
Ayurvedic Therapy takes about 75 minutes. Garshana is a
Sanskrit word meaning “dry brushing”. Abyhanga is a Sanskrit
word meaning “to rub the limbs”, usually with warm herbal
oil. Exfoliating the skin in a traditional Ayurvedic
sequence just before oil massage, allows the oil to
penetrate the skin deeper and truly nourish the body.
Clients love this! This treatment starts with fresh lemon &
salt on the feet to encourage systemic cleansing, followed
by a dry lymphatic skin brushing with a silk glove, followed
by an personalized herbal oil massage. The brushing
(garshana) increases circulation, alkalizes the blood, helps
create negative ions (which are the good ones!) and cleans
the skin so herbal oil can penetrate deeply. Warm,
herbal-oil massage (abhyanga) nourishes the skin, aids in
removing impurities, stimulates both arterial and lymphatic
circulation, and calms the central nervous system, promoting
a blissful sensation. Garshana enhances the potential of
nutrients to reach starved cells and also eliminates
stagnant waste. Swedhana Therapy induces a light sweat,
coaxing toxins to leave the body through the pores of the
skin. Sacred Stone has designed a non-bacterial steam tent
made from sailboat canvas to fit over a massage table.
Before the steam, the skin is exfoliated with silk gloves,
then purifying ayurvedic essential oils are applied to the
lymph points. The client steams in savasana (stillness) for
about 15 minutes. Swedhana relieves stiffness, coldness and
heaviness in the body. As a result of perspiring, the agni
(fire) within the body is increased and fatty tissue and
toxins are mobilized, then eliminated. You can charge your
clients $90 or more this is a form of Ayurvedic bodywork and
healing.

About Sacred Stone Sacred
Stone Holistic Education Center is dedicated to providing
high quality learning experiences through homestudy programs
for massage therapists, aestheticians, yoga enthusiasts, and
other healing professionals. We specialize in the art of
heated & cooled sea stone bodywork as it merges perfectly
with the principles of Ayurveda. Ayurveda means "The science
of life," and is the ancient medical system of India. It is
a collaborative body-mind-spirit physiotherapeutic healing
system based on restoring the balance of the five great
elements - ether, air, fire, water and earth. It is our
mission to teach the ancient, mystical knowledge of the
east, merge it with the west and share the simple wisdom of
Ayurveda and how it can be used as an adjunct to modern
medicine.
