Ayurvedic massage is one of the pillars of Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine born over 5,000 years ago in the Indus Valley. The term Ayurveda means 'science of life' in Sanskrit. Abhyanga massage, practised daily in Indian families, uses warm sesame or coconut oils infused with medicinal herbs to balance the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) that govern each individual's constitution. Kansu massage, performed with a small bowl made of five metal alloys (copper, zinc, bronze, tin and iron), stimulates the reflex points of the foot arch. Introduced in Europe in the 1980s, these Ayurvedic treatments are now offered in the finest thalassotherapy centres, enriching the marine approach with Indian wisdom.
