A Swedish massage is a type of massage therapy that is performed with long, gliding strokes.
A Swedish massage typically uses five styles of long, gliding strokes. The five styles are effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, friction and vibration.
Effleurage is a style of stroking that moves from the top of the body to the bottom in a systematic way. Petrissage is a kneading technique that incorporates circular movements on the surface area being massaged. Tapotement includes light striking or tapping movements on the muscles or tendons being massaged. Friction is a technique where pressure is applied to one part of the body by using another part of it (e.g., hands). Vibration involves shaking or vibrating parts of the body to stimulate circulation and relieve muscle tension.
Shirodhara is a traditional ayurvedic procedure that involves the slow and steady dripping of warmed medicated oil onto the forehead. This procedure is incredibly relaxing and can send you into a deep state of relaxation that results in a psycho-somatic balance. It is known to assist in removing toxins from the body, help nutrients in the body to flow freely to the brain and encourage healing from within. It has the ability to calm the nervous system and is especially indicated for those who suffer from insomnia, anxiety, headaches and have difficulties with concentration. It includes a head, hand and foot massage.
Swedish massage involves the use of hands, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the body’s muscles to improve mental and physical health.

According to the Ayurvedic scripture The Charaka Samhita, "Even an old man sheds all his aging infirmities and emerged with fresh youthful complexion" once he starts regularly taking chyawanprash. Chyawanprash is an ancient Ayurvedic health supplement which is made up of a super-concentrated blend of nearly 40 nutrient rich herbs and minerals. It is meant to restore drained reserves of life force and to preserve strength, stamina and vitality, while stalling the course of aging. This tonic also promotes overall wellbeing.
The principal herb in this 2,000 year old formula is amla (amalaki), one if the world's most concentrated naturally occurring antioxidants and sources of Vitamin C. A spoonful a day of Susama Ayurveda's homemade chyawanprash is a tasty way for people of all ages and doshas to nourish their mind and body and support healthy immune function. Chyawanprash is considered to be the best rejuvenate tonic -or rasayana- available.
