How it works:
The oil smells good – so fresh. It is used to relieve the shoulders, knows masseuse Mechthild Weglage, 44, whose hands slide down from the neck to the fingertips. Pleasant. The next oil is hot, smells aromatic and pampers the entire back, which enjoys the warmth of an infrared heater over the massage table during the massage. Wonderful!
Time to let go and feel. The point of fire on the lower back gets attention. Or the power points on the glutes, the point for the colon on the calves and… Ayurvedic massage is a science . Mechthild Weglage learned it from local doctors in India and first explained the basics in our preliminary talk: “I listen to people and see which of the three Ayurvedic active principles are out of balance at the moment.” Too much Vata? Then the person is “stuck in the wind”, not really grounded, may have breathing problems or back pain.
With too much Pitta, the fire element, there may be too much heat in the body, or inflammation may occur. “And a Kapha disorder can manifest itself, for example, in the form of a sluggish metabolism and being overweight.” Here and now, Mechthild is doing everything to calm the wind. With warming, nourishing oils and slow, centering movements. Both work together, massage and oil each contribute half to the success. “That’s why I only use traditional Ayurveda herbal oils for the massage,” explains the masseuse.
They still work after the treatment. In India, the massage is therefore followed by a steam bath to further open the pores for you. That doesn’t work here. Hence the recommendation: “Take a warm shower in the evening, without soap, and then don’t rub too hard.” Will do!
