Abhyanga Ayurveda Massage

Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine that was developed and is widely practiced in India. The word Ayurveda means "science of life" (Ayur = Life and Veda = knowledge).
This traditional medicine is a natural healing system and the oldest in the world, its roots come from the VEDIC era , more than 5,000 years ago.
This healing system has had a strong influence on many systems of medicine, throughout history from ancient Greece in the West to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tibetan and Thai in the East.
It teaches that man is a microcosm, a universe in itself. He is the son of the external cosmic forces, the macrocosm.
Through the study of this science, anyone can acquire practical knowledge of self-healing.
One of the most important techniques is the Massage Abhyanga Ayurveda, which translated means, slathered in oil. It is highly beneficial for both our body and our spirit.
In medicine,it has served as a diagnostic, curative and preventive method.
Working on Marma points or energy centres,  mobilizing and achieving prana or vital energy.
Massages are specially designed, following a combination of movements and binding of essential oils, herbs and base oils, which have proven effectiveness.
The main role of this massage is to balance the internal energy of the person, ie vata (air), pitta (fire) and kapha (earth / water)

During a session, energy blockages are removed and the patient experiences emotional changes, and relief.

Dr. Nayana Rao is visiting Tenerife for the first time and is sharing some of her knowledge of Ayurvedic Medicine.
Thank you so much Nayana for a truly informative weekend, not only full of wonderful knowledge, but of friendship, love and peace. 
Deep gratitude from myself and the whole group. 
Love and Light.
