Ayurvedic Massage: Can it Help With Weight Loss?
Ayurvedic massage has been around for centuries, and is a form of self-care recommended by many. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness, and this ancient practice is increasingly being recognized for its potential to help in achieving many goals, including weight loss.
What is Ayurvedic Massage?
Ayurvedic massage, also called Abhyanga, is a traditional Indian massage that focuses on using oil, gentle yet firm strokes, and acupressure massage techniques to promote the circulation of energy throughout the body. It is not a deep tissue or sports massage but is designed to relax both the body and the mind.
How Ayurvedic Massage May Help With Weight Loss
Ayurvedic massage may help with weight loss by:
- Stressing Less: Massage helps to reduce stress levels and can also help to improve sleep, both of which are important when it comes to managing weight.
- Increasing Circulation: Massage helps to improve circulation, allowing for better oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body, helping to keep the metabolism running smoothly.
- Enhancing Metabolism: Massage can improve the body’s utilization of energy, leading to an enhanced metabolic rate and resulting in more calories burned.
- Reducing Toxins: Some practitioners also believe that massage can help to reduce toxins from the body, leading to a decrease in fat stores.
