Thai Massage vs Ayurvedic Massage

Thai Massage vs Ayurvedic Massage

Though the title is a comparison , it cannot be actually compared when it comes to the outcome and the way both massages are carried out. Both are definitely poles apart. Being an ardent fan of Ayurveda I would certainly vouch for Ayurvedic massage.
One thing is for sure a definite outcome that is both are rejuvenating our body.

Thai massage involves the massager using both hands own body weight to massage ,I would rather say stretch our muscles to such an extent that it feels like doing some yoga postures. If you opt for oil massages also it is limited to coconut oil or aroma oil. But there is no doubt that it’s quite refreshing for the body and the mind.

On the other hand in Ayurvedic massage the contribution of Ayurvedic medicinal oils is immense. Though some may not like the smell , the benefits are quite appealing. A good practitioner would enquire if you are suffering from any ailments depending on which they chose the oil. They may use pinna thailam, dhanwantharam, balaswagandhadhi etc depending on your medical condition. Also the massager uses his/her fingers for massaging which in itself is a tedious task. The massage is followed by ayurvedic steam bath which ensures that the oil is absorbed into the body. You will be quite relaxed throughout the massage. The massage is quite rejuvenating and those who have medical ailments like backpain will be overwhelmed by the result.
If you want more than a simple massage and would like to address your joint or back pain , the answer is without doubt Ayurvedic Massage…..
