Ayurveda in a nutshell

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian medicine, undoubtedly the oldest and most comprehensive therapeutic system in the world.
Ayurveda is based on the unique character of each individual to treat the human being as a whole: the human body and mind are closely linked.
It is both a medicine and a philosophy. Ayurveda means "Knowledge of Life".

Its philosophy starts from the principle that the human body is composed of 5 elements:

These 5 elements are divided into three types of fundamental energies, the doshas:

The appearance of diseases is due to an imbalance between these energies. Ayurvedic medicine will regulate this imbalance and eliminate toxins through nature and relies on full-body massages.

Prana, the basis of Ayurveda

Our lifestyle destabilizes us: our modern lives subject us to constant stress on a daily basis, we consume unsuitable food and live in an environment disconnected from nature.
Ayurveda improves the circulation of our energies or Prana.
Prana is our vital energy. Our level of Prana will determine our level of vitality, and it is Nature that is the inexhaustible source of Prana.
Food is therefore very important and contributes to increasing our vital energy. And it starts with breakfast based on prana-rich food products like sun-grown organic fruits and vegetables or whole grains.

Prana varies constantly depending on our age, environment, profession... Ayurveda seeks to know the deep intimacy of each individual.

It is a medicine of common sense, wisdom, and pleasure that draws its benefits from therapeutic plants growing on the island. Sri Lanka is a real garden.

Ayurveda seeks to restore our power over our health and balance and make us happy!

What is Ayurvedic massage?

Ayurvedic massage, also called Abhyanga massage, comes from this traditional medicine.

Ayurvedic massage is one of the pillars of Eastern medicine, along with yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, and phytotherapy. It rebalances the forces circulating within us by stimulating some of the 107 energy points in the body. The oils are adapted to our energies to amplify the benefits of Ayurvedic massage.

Often sesame oil or coconut oil is used, with added natural essential oils tailored to each individual.

The Ayurvedic massage in Sri Lanka is a complete traditional body massage, including foot massage, head and scalp massage, facial massage, finger-tip massage, back and belly massage.

A complete well-being for the body and mind, a feeling of harmony will spread throughout your body.

Ayurvedic massages awaken all your senses and offer authentic body care for restored beauty and well-being.

These massages are the source of your well-being and provide a deep sense of relaxation. They free you from stress and emotions. They restore perfect harmony within you and regulate your restored energies.

You feel a total release and the feeling of fully existing!

It’s absolutely divine.

These moments will remain engraved in your memory and every cell...

How to choose your Ayurvedic massage in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka is the ideal relaxation destination to take care of yourself. Ayurveda is an integral part of Sri Lankan culture, and you will find opportunities to get massaged almost everywhere.

Ayurvedic centers, hotels with dedicated spaces, even at the beach... The island is full of places for your wellness massage. Choose a reliable and quality center because some establishments lack seriousness.
The practitioner has a crucial role. Through their professionalism, knowledge of massage techniques, and state of presence, they allow you to recharge and regenerate.

Fully enjoy the massage

Think about yourself; what do you feel? In which part of the body do you suffer? Take advantage of your trip to free yourself from your pain.
Start by taking time to relax. Relaxation is essential, take your time. Ayurvedic massages contribute to your relaxation. Depending on your pains, you can have only the head, feet or back massaged.

You can also opt for Abyangha, a full-body oil massage or Shirodhara, a fine stream of oil slowly flowing over your forehead relaxing sensitive points on your head.

Or simply enjoy a massage to feel an absolute state of well-being...

You can also take a course in Ayurvedic massage. Aloka Sanna in Sri Lanka offers a certified course that allows you to learn about Ayurvedic massage practices. This course is for anyone who wants to learn massage techniques and the spirit of Ayurveda.
