During this anti-aging facial the face, neck and shoulders are massaged
with ayurvedic oils to suit your skin type using specialised techniques.
Mukha Abhyanga is a traditional ayurvedic facelift massage, using very gentle
massage techniques which will leave you feeling rejuvenated and cleansed.
The facial gives the skin a smooth texture and appearance, together with
a healthy glow. This is a natural and effective method of reducing wrinkles.
Technical details:
During the treatment marma points are gently massaged which are energy centres
in the body. Marma points are connected with each other by energy channels
(nadis). Under normal circumstances, energy should flow uninterrupted through
the energy channels (nadis) while passing through the marma points. Energy
tends to get blocked in marma points due to external influences like stress,
tension and lack of rest etc. Blockages of these points will also result
in early aging. So one of the aims of the traditional ayurvedic facelift
massage is to keep these energy centres and channels free of such blockages
so that there is uninterrupted energy flow through them.
There are 37 marma major points in the head and neck area and 98% are vata
reducing points. Excess vata will produce wrinkles so by massaging the area
with specialist techniques, vata is reduced therefore wrinkles are reduced.
Vata dosha is dominant in old age this means that there is vata dosha excess
during this period of life.
Ayurveda says, ‘that as long as one is able to pacify vata dosha,
one can prolong life and keep old age at bay’.
So with this facial the therapist concentrates on all vata dominant points
of the head and face region to pacify the vata dosha.
