Massage is a very ancient technique prevalent since thousand of years back but has become popular in recent years only.

Massaging is done on body based on ayurveda principle. Ayurveda believes that any disorder in body is caused due to imbalances in three toxins or doshas: pitta, vatta and kapha. Ayurveda tries to bring harmony in these three through applying various techniques during massaging. In this various oils are used on body and they are chosen according to the season and depending upon on the internal status of the patient's body.

Various oils have been suggested best by ayurveda like sesame oil is best but in winters its better to use mustard oil. Coconut oil and sunflower oil are also recommended. For vatta bodies warming oils like pumpkin, coconut, sandalwood etc should be used while for pitta bodies cooling oils like mustard, corn, jojoba olive etc are best to use.

Oil massage on body can be done by oneself or through an expert but it always beneficial to take an expert. Massaging can be started from head to feet or from feet to head. It does not make any difference, generally expert do it from head to feet. Firstly oil is applied on whole body then it is massaged gently so that it can reach to the inner tissues. Force applied during massaging should be applied on muscles only and not on the bones. After a proper massage you should wait for 20-30 minutes and then should take a bath.
