Ayurvedic Massage
Ayurvedic Massage at Forest Therapy Center
Ayurvedic massage combines the 5,000-year-old Indian principles of Ayurveda—the science of life—and pressure points.
How does it work
This type of massage is designed to create balance among the mind, body, and spirit, and help the body heal itself. It’s sometimes referred to as an “oil massage” because it typically incorporates warm herb essential oils, as well as time-honored and non-traditional strokes and kneading that suit an individual’s needs.
