TOP 5 Ayurvedic procedures for rejuvenation

Among the variety of Ayurvedic procedures for rejuvenation, we have selected the five most popular. Most of them are included in the treatment programs of the hotels presented on our website.

Our rating opens with a unique beauty procedure for the whole body - apsara.

The name of this procedure dates back to the times of Ancient India, when “apsaras” were called the inhabitants of the heavenly planets with divine beauty. Travelers who have gone through several apsara sessions feel like such beautiful and fabulous women. In ancient times, brides underwent this procedure before the wedding in order to be flawless and irresistible during the big celebration. Now the wonders of apsara are available to everyone, and in addition to traditional cosmetics, apsara includes various relaxation procedures, such as a light head massage. It is performed using herbal oil. In addition to individual parts of the body, a full massage can also be performed. It is performed using oils from flowers, herbs and fruits. Aromatic oils help a person relax even more during the procedure. Massage not only helps to relax the body, but also removes harmful toxins from the skin. The apsara ritual can be supplemented with peeling. Such pleasant bonuses perfectly restore the skin’s former elasticity and help smooth out wrinkles.

Apsara includes several stages:

• rambha;
• menaka;
• urvashi.

The first stage includes a head massage and full body massage, the second stage includes facial cleansing, full body massage and exfoliation, as well as a cooling facial mask. And finally, urvashi is a combination of all the above procedures. After each “ritual”, vacationers must take a shower to apply a moisturizing cream to their body to help rejuvenate the skin.

Apsara - this is an effective method that allows you to quickly restore the skin and rid it of toxins. In addition, the procedure allows you to restore the skin, increase its elasticity, and also improves blood circulation and gives the face a healthy color.

Supani - 4th place in our ranking.

Hands are a calling card for any girl. Coco Chanel said so, but in India they have long known that hands need to be given special attention. The Ayurvedic procedure of supani performs several important tasks:

• cleanses the skin;
• moisturizes it;
• allows hands to remain young and healthy.

The name of the procedure is directly related to its process. “Supani” can be translated from Sanskrit as “beautiful hands”. Hand massage using fresh milk or products with active herbal ingredients perfectly smoothes and moisturizes the skin, making it softer.

The high concentration of reflex points on the hands allows massage to improve a person’s overall well-being.

The next procedure on our list is supada or “beautiful feet”.

Often people neglect the health of their own feet and do not monitor the condition of their skin. Supada is used in cases where the patient has problems with swelling, rough and dry skin. Soft peeling allows you to even out the skin without damaging it. The relaxing effect during supada is also important. Vital points and nerve endings are concentrated specifically on the feet. When these points are affected by massage, there is a beneficial effect on the entire body.

The supada procedure includes cleansing in relaxing baths, massage with soft peeling, moisturizing the skin of the feet and other means of rejuvenating your feet.

Thanks to the supada, you can relieve swelling of your feet, remove rough skin, and also moisturize it.

The best procedures for the youth of your body

At the top of our ranking are the two most popular procedures. In addition to the rejuvenating effect, they are part of many Ayurvedic treatment programs that can reduce the risk of new diseases.

We give second place to the shirodhara procedure, which is part of the panchakarma complex. Shirodhara, or as shirodara is also called, is designed to restore physical and spiritual health, as well as significantly improve the psycho-emotional state. It is believed that this rejuvenation procedure was created thanks to Tibetan monks, whose longevity is known throughout the world.

Literally every tourist who has visited Ayurvedic resorts knows about Shirodhara. If you book a hotel in India on the website of the Ayurveda Tour company, then you will definitely be able to go through shirodhara procedure. The essence of the rejuvenating method is as follows: warm oil is poured into the area of ​​the Ajna Chakra, known as the “third eye”. A thin jet performs several functions at once:

• when placed on the head, it allows you to perform a light head massage;
• relaxes the face;
• restores skin;
• produces a rejuvenating effect.

If you take advantage of one of our offers, your Ayurvedic program will be compiled by experienced specialists. An individual approach to rejuvenating, wellness and other procedures is available in each hotel presented on the website of the travel company Ayurveda Tour. The shirodhara procedure is also tailored to each individual tourist. The set of oils that will be used during the procedure is selected individually. An Ayurvedic doctor, before placing a person on a massage table, carefully examines the patient and selects oils for him, as well as points on the body where the mixture of oils will be spilled.

The duration of shirodhara varies from 1 to 2 hours. There should be no extraneous sounds in the room where this procedure is carried out; light musical accompaniment is allowed. Shirodhara helps to achieve complete peace, relax the body, get rid of emotional tension, remove facial tension, restore balance of the body, mind and consciousness, balance doshas (fundamental principles regulating various functions of the mind and body), improve sleep, rejuvenate the skin on the face and head .

Shirodhara is especially useful for those tourists who experience constant migraines, high blood pressure, neuroses and epilepsy, heart and vascular diseases, eyes and gastrointestinal tract; feels memory impairment, sleep disturbance and weakness and dizziness. It is worth remembering that there are several contraindications for this Ayurvedic procedure. You should not go through shirodhara if you have colds, fever, ARVI, infectious and inflammatory diseases, influenza or cancer. The recommended course of shirodhara should last from 1 to 2 weeks.

Shirodhara process begins with the doctor diagnosing the patient’s condition - his health, psychophysical type, and so on. Based on the inspection results, the necessary oils are selected, the most popular of which are sesame, sweet almond, canola and sunflower oils. Then the procedure is carried out step by step in the following order:

• heating the oil in a steam bath;
• covering the body with a sheet, leaving only the head exposed;
• after the patient relaxes in a horizontal position, oil begins to spill;
• In addition to a stream of oil, herbal masks are applied to the head, and the shirodhara process itself can be accompanied by a head massage;
• After the procedure, the oil is removed from the patient's head.

Since this rejuvenating procedure has a relaxing effect, it is recommended to sleep for several hours after shirodhara. It is interesting that our travelers compare shirodhara with a kind of sleep, despite the fact that the body and mind are awake during the procedure.

Let's move on to the main rejuvenating Ayurvedic procedure - rasayana. Rasayana is translated from Sanskrit as “rejuvenation therapy”, so it is not surprising that it is considered the main procedure for maintaining the beauty of your body. Thanks to this procedure, you can slow down the aging of the body, as well as restore damaged tissue. Rasayana is a whole complex of rejuvenating actions, which includes cleansing the body, an individual diet, schedule and daily routine, and of course, taking medicinal drugs.

Rasayanas (herbal preparations) involve preliminary undergoing another popular Ayurvedic procedure, panchakarma. Thus, before moving on to rejuvenation with the help of rasayana, it is necessary to normalize digestion, balance the doshas and remove toxins from the body.

Due to the natural origin of the drugs used in the rasayana procedure, you can be sure that the treatment will take place without side effects. Rasayana allows you to normalize energy balance and the nervous system, and restore human immunity. And most importantly, rasayana effectively rejuvenates the body and the spiritual component of a person.

Rasayana is divided into several internal types. The first type (kamya) involves increasing longevity and developing the mind, the second - naimittika, helps to achieve specified medicinal goals, for example, ridding the body of toxins. The third therapy (ajashvika) allows you to feel the effect of rasayana over a long period of time.

Maximum effect of rasayana is achieved after a long procedure (several months), but if your vacation at one of our resorts lasts much less, then you should not neglect rasayana, because the procedure can be continued after returning from the ocean shores.
