Introduction to Ayurveda massage

Ayurveda, the ancient holistic healing system of India, is a complete approach to health and lifestyle management. This system incorporates diet, exercise, life activity routines, psychotherapeutic practices, and, of course, bodywork, which is one of the foundations of Ayurvedic therapeutics.

The three main Ayurveda constitutional body types are stable/fixed, fluctuating/changeable, and intense. The three body types determine physical and psychological characteristics.
