Ayurvedic Marma Massage - Ayurveda's version of acupressure, a therapeutic massage that releases muscle soreness. It is the Ayurvedic version of Accupressure and uses 107 vital marma points, that are gently massaged in a circular stroke then pressed to release pain.
The marma massage can be done with clothes on, like Shiatsu or with 'healing' oils that have anti inflammatory or analgesic qualities like MahaNarayanam Tailam, or, Pidantak Tailam. Sometimes, pain relieving wraps or ice packs can also be used.
Kalaripayattam Masters use their hands, feet, fingers, thumbs as well as natural herbs that heal and reduce inflammation and pain.
