 While
ayurvedic massage therapy does not generally provide a complete
therapeutic cure, it does help the organism to receive nutrient
material from within the body and to expel toxins.
Certain ailments related to the muscles, ligaments
and nervous system can be completely healed through good ayurvedic
massage therapy. In diseases caused by deranged vata,
massage therapy can also be the only remedy. In diseases caused
by deranged pitta
and kapha, ayurvedic massage therapy compliments other
healing methods.
In ayurvedic massage therapy, the practisioner
mostly works with the knowledge of the marmas
or indian pressure points.
Ayurvedic massage therapy is an ideal remedy
for pain. The figure below show parts of the head as they
relate to other body parts and/or symptoms of diseases :
Pain here indicates
A : Tension and infections
of the gums and teeth.
B : Overacidity (pain of the eyeball).
C : Gastritis (pain of the eye socket).
D : Inflammation of the stomach.

F : Disorders of the intestines.
G : Disorders of the fallopian tubes.

Ayurvedic massage therapy on these areas can
at the least help the rest of the medical treatment to succeed.
Ayurvedic massage therapy can be a real cure
in case of arthritis, rheumatism, neurasthenia, high or low
blood pressure, sciatica, paralysis, polio and insomnia. In
all these cases, the massage practisioner should however also
prescribe specific medication, changes in daily habits, excercises,
etc..
