In traditional Ayurveda the treatments will be tailored to the individual with a focus on re balancing the energies within the body but all regimes will include Ayurvedic massage. The health benefits of massage are well known as it often reduces blood pressure and reduces stress improving mental health, an increase in muscle tone and reduction in odema can also be seen with regular participation. To sample the true experience one should visit an Ayurvedic health spa where a trained practitioner will use warmed herb infused oils and different massage techniques; however, you can recreate some benefits in your own home. Choose good quality oil, coconut oil is an excellent option, warm it gently then apply over the whole body, massage each body area with circular movements or long strokes to ease the stress away.

Small changes to our diet can have a huge impact on how we feel the Ayurvedic diet encourages one to include the six “tastes” in every meal, these are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent with different fruits and vegetables being different tastes. Sounds complicated? An easier route is to choose whole foods in as wide variety of colours as possible also use ayurvedic spices when cooking and always eat your largest meal at lunchtime. Digestive issues respond very well to an ayurvedic diet, drinking warm water steeped with ginger is also excellent for your digestive health.

Simple lifestyle changes are also advocated in Ayuvedic heathcare, getting a good night’s rest of at least seven hours quality sleep along with retiring early is a must. Set a good bedtime routine by reducing the use of electronic devices; take a warm bath using relaxing essential oils possibly a massage to prepare you for rest.
