About the Book

Massage is the oldest of all the techniques for relieving pain, shaping the organs, regenerating the tissues and correcting all internal functions. It is the eighth and the last principle of yoga.

The book presents a holistic approach to healing and beautification of the body through massage in a scientific way. Massage is good for health for all. Massage or the operation of healing hands had great importance in the ancient history of the world; perhaps there may not be much science and technology. But ancient Indian surgeons studied the art of massage from the famous medical books of Charak, Ashtanga Hridaya and Susruta Samhita. Most of the orthopaedic injuries and pains were cured by massage. Nowadays, massage centres in Kerala are famous for treating and curing many diseases by different kinds of oils prepared by a combination of ayurvedic medicines. Such centres are attracting the foreigners in large number. Tourism has developed in Kerala fastly due to this.

Preface

A tired body and aching limbs crave for attention at the end of a day's hard work or after a long journey. At such times, a hot or cold bath depending upon the weather conditions bring great relief to them. But there is also another way to relieve such aches and pains. It is through massage and pressure.

Massage assists healing and regeneration process in the tissues of the body. Properly performed, it will promote the supply of blood to various areas treated and assists in venous drainage and lymphatic circulation. It also relaxes the patient and allows tension to reduce and congestion to clear. In inflamed parts where the nerves hurt, a mild massage or gentle rubbing of any oil or ointment gives soothing comfort. The oil or ointment relieves the inflammation, pain and congestion on and around the area.

On larger areas of the body like back, thighs and abdomen, a vigorous massage encourages the brisk circulation of the blood. This enables the waste matter from the blood to reach the waste- eliminating organs faster; more oxygenated blood then reaches the organs and brings a cure to the diseased organs.
