Ayurvedic Massage

The book presents Ayurvedic massage, a traditional Indian practice within Ayurveda, one of the world's oldest medical systems. According to the book, Ayurveda sees the human being as closely connected with the environment and all other life forms. Ayurvedic massage is said to work on physical and mental levels, transmitting life-giving energy that helps the body's systems repair and renew themselves. Harish Johari takes both novice and experienced practitioners through every stage of the full body massage, explains oils for different body types, and covers techniques for expectant mothers, babies, specific disorders, and a traditional forty-day beauty treatment.
