An AYURVEDIC FACIAL is based around Marma Therapy.
Marmas are subtle,vital energy points where two or more types of tissues meet. An Ayurvedic Facial Treatment involves isolating these points and massaging them in a specific way.
Between the Marmas are subtle energy channels called Nadis. In Ayurvedic Medicine it is taught that our lifestyle, emotional and physical stresses can lead to imbalances and blockages. The Marmas are manipulated to improve the flow of energy through the Nadis and rejuvenate the skin.
Marma Therapy for the face improves the micro circulation that feeds the facial tissues and tones the muscles surrounding the Marmas. This brings many visible benefits to your skin and complexion. It can also offer relief from insomnia, neuralgia, tired eyes caused by eye strain, sinus congestion, tension headaches and tension in the jaw. Marma Therapy helps to dissolve tension held in the facial muscles and is deeply relaxing for the body as a whole.
As it is believed that the Nadis relay energetic information between your mind, body and the system of chakras an Ayurvedic Facial has the potential to go beyond the skin to penetrate the body at a much deeper, more subtle level.
Ayurvedic Skin Care
Ayurvedic skin care is an intricate blend of herbs, plant roots, leaves, spices, pulses, minerals, clays, essential oils, vegetable and seed oils. These are ground, mixed, extracted and blended according to ancient wisdom. During an Ayurvedic Facial it is traditional to prepare an ubtan, a freshly prepared paste of ground ingredients with rose water which is applied to the face to cleanse and feed the skin. Herbalised Ayurvedic oils are then used to encourage the release of toxins stored in the tissues and to help increase tejas, the radiance in the skin.
