"AYURVED MASSAGE" FOR BETTER HEALTH
The use of techniques preserved in the Sanskrit Texts as old as 2500 year back
deals with the art of maintaining balance in the body. This system is called
the Ayurveda which means longevity. Ayurveda is principally concerned with the
individual’s balance in diet and everyday living habits so that he stays free of
physical and emotional disease. The system works by adjusting the intercellular
fluid in the body, known as Lymph, in order to create an electrical and chemical
balance among the various Organ Systems to preserve their proper functioning.
The system is further boosted by the application of massage with the help of oils
on feet and hands and rest of the body. This lymphatic system has many elements
which make it important for the body maintenance and therefore it is advisable
to boost its circulation with the help of systematic massage as lymphatic system
does not have its own circulation system.
Lymphatic System : It is circulation of milky colored fluid
inside body along the path of blood circulation system. Lymph is found
everywhere outside the cells in the human body except in the brain, bone marrow
and deep inside skeletal muscles. It is a clear or milky colored fluid which
originates by leakage from blood capillaries. This system carries nutrients to
the cells and waste products and foreign particles away from the cells, it then
passes into small lymph vessels. These lymph vessels travel a short distance
and then enter a lymph node. Here if there are any bacteria, viruses, foreign
particles or cellular debris in the lymph, the same are eaten by the large cells
in the lymph node and destroyed. Another lymph vessel takes out the freshly
cleaned lymph from the other side of the lymph node and moves it on to the heart.
Lymph vessels have valves so that the fluid flows in only one direction –
towards the heart. The lymph flow finally rejoins the blood stream at the base
of the neck where the largest lymphatic collecting vessel, called the thoracic
duct, empties its lymph into the internal jugular vein and there it mixes with
the blood.
Lymph depends on muscular contraction to make it flow back
toward the heart. It is very necessary to massage the area of interest to get
the lymph to flow and do the cleaning work properly. Lymph contains a great
number of lymphocytes which are the White Blood Cells (WBC) responsible for
maintaining the body’s circulating immunological resistance.

"MUD BATH THERAPY" FOR INTERNAL CLEANSING :
Mud is one of five elements of nature having immense impact on the body in
health as well as in sickness. It can be employed conveniently as a
therapeutic agent in Naturopathy treatment as its black color absorbs all the
colors of the sun and conveys them to the body. Mud also retains moisture for
a long time and therefore when applied over the body it causes cooling.
Thirdly its shape and consistency can be changed easily by adding water.
Mud procured for treatment purpose should be black cotton
soil with greasiness and free from pollution and contamination. Before use
mud should be dried, powdered and sieved to separate stones, grass particles
and other impurities.
Mud bath invigorates the circulatory system by diverting a
large amount of blood to the periphery and hence useful in cleansing and
strengthening the skin tissue. Frequent application of mud bath helps in
improving the complexion of the skin by getting rid of spots and patches, which
appear in various skin disorders and after chicken and small pox. Mud bath is
also generally recommended for all skin diseases.
