Ayurvedic face massage: a precious help



" You wrote it in your face ", warns a well-known way of saying: mirror of our feelings, as eloquent as a thousand words cannot be, our face is the first part of us that we offer to the world and the most exposed .

What, not surprisingly, we care to make up, treat in a particular way, to decorate: because if the body can somehow disguise itself behind the dress, the face must leave the house every morning on the front line.

Let us free ourselves from tensions

Ayurveda gives great importance to the face (and to the head in general) and because it contains all five sense organs, and because it represents a very important area in the subtle physiology as the site of specific points called marma .

Without going into this ancient knowledge, it is important to underline how the facial massage ( mukhabhyangam ) can be an aid not to be underestimated not only (and not so much) for aesthetic questions, but also to relieve widespread disorders such as headaches and headaches . Often, without being aware of it, our face is a tangle of tensions that even alter our expression.

Sometimes a wise yoga lesson is enough to give us a more relaxed face, especially a specially designed treatment.

The mukhabhyangam is performed by a therapist and can either be included within the complete Ayurvedic massage or performed as a single district massage. It can be done in the classic way, that is with only the oil, or it can be enriched by the use of masks or specific ayurvedic creams .

Did you know that there is also yoga for the face?

A face that shines!

Apart from the benefits inherent in this or that preparation, those given by the expert touch of the masseur do not change. We often spend a lot of money on creams and aesthetic services and we do not take into due consideration the fact that a stiffened face, however beautiful, without wrinkles and very clean, can never be radiant.

Let us therefore examine the many positive effects that this pleasant massage can give us:

  1. the skin is brighter and more toned
  2. the muscles of the face are more relaxed and there is a general muscular abandonment
  3. expression lines are smoothed out
  4. brings complete relaxation to the body which promotes lucidity and concentration
  5. can be particularly useful for those suffering from jaw stiffness
