Product Description
Five thousand years ancient, Ayurvedic massage has been shown to still the mind and body by lowering metabolic rates and inspiring feelings of peace and cool. Often administered as a part of a three-, five-, or seven-day program, these treatments are an vital part of deep cleansing, rejuvenation, and life-extension Ayurvedic programs called panchakarma or kya kalpa. This book by a noted practitioner features more than 15 of these treatments, each described in step-by-step detail and some synchronized with two therapists for up to two hours in part. It provides the reader with all the tools necessary to start Ayurvedic treatments as a part of a spa menu or massage therapy program.

I have not yet read through the book, but in skimming over the contents, it is quite informative and appears to be a fantastic modality to follow swedish massage.

This is a excellent book for western masseuse. The clarity of writing, technique and photos are fantastic! But, having studied ancient massage techniques from Kalaripayatthu masters in India, this is NOT habitual massage techniques taught in India.
Having said that, this book is meant for westerners so tones down the tradition.
Overall, excellent book.

As a Certified Massage Therapist I found this book to be very educational. The only problem that I have with the book concerns many of the images found within it. There is a superfluity of images BUT many of the images were so small that I had to use a magnifying glass in order to see the details better. Now, I have perfect 20/20 thought…so for me to have to resort to using a magnifying glass should tell all of you reading my review just how small the images were.
I would have given this book 5 stars if it weren’t for the super small images.

I am a LMT in CT, have taken Ayurvedic classes (marma therapies) also read many books on Ayurveda. I just LOVE this book. This book is perfect for the LMTs out there who like learning from books. More than 3/4 of the book is Ayurvedic Massage Techniques (for one or two therapists massaging the same client). This book includes info and techniques to perform Garshana, Abhyanga, Vishesh, Udvartana, Shirodhara, Swedana, and Facials. Thank you for the wonderful writing & I can’t wait for the next volume to this run comes out – intrudicing marma, maha-marma programs & the five senses therapies..it’s definately on my list of must reads!
