Ayurveda Infusion Massage
The Ayurveda infusion massage at Zen Body & Skin in Henderson NV combines therapeutic massage with wellness and beauty rituals inspired by Ayurveda.
What Is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda translates in Sanskript to “the Science of life.” Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world’s oldest whole-body healing holistic systems, originating over 5,000 years ago in India. The philosophy is similar to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the belief that in order to achieve health the body, mind, and spirit must all be treated and brought into balance in harmony.
How Is Ayurvedic Medicine & Traditional Chinese Medicine Similar?
Ayurveda and TCM teach disease and dysfunction are a result of blocked energy flow in the body. This flow is called “prana” in ayurveda, and “qi” (pronounced chi) in TCM. Both systems of medicine treat blocked energy and imbalances with nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle changes.
In both Ayurveda and TCM, massage is an essential element in maintaining health and wellness for the body, mind, and spirit.

Garshana For Circulation & Lymph Flow
Garshana, pronounced gar-shun-uh, translates into rubbing or polishing. In the Western world it is typically referred to as dry brushing.
It utilizes either exfoliating gloves or a bristled brush to gently exfoliate the body. Garshana encourages lymph flow, circulation, detoxification, and helps to remove energy blockages.
Kansa Wand Massage For Beautiful Skin
The Kansa wand is an ancient face and body massaging tool that pre-dates gua sha and the jade roller.
The magic is in the metals, tin and copper (an essential mineral for skin regeneration). The Kansa wand helps to balance the skin’s PH, detoxify, encourage lymph flow, reduce facial puffiness, and bring oxygen to the skin for a beautiful glow. The wand can also be used anywhere on the body, including the feet, which is said to help balance the chakras.
Abhyanga (Warm Oil Massage) A Self-Love Ritual
Abhyanga in Ayurveda is the use of warm oils massaged over the body. In Sanskript, the term “seha” translates to both “oil” and “love”. In Ayurveda, there is a deep connection between massaging the body in oils and enveloping oneself in love.
The oils may be infused with Ayurvedic herbs or essential oils specific to your dosha. Want to know your dosha? Take a free dosha quiz.
Scalp Massage For Deep Relaxation & Healthy Hair
There are vital energy points on the head (referred to as marma points in Ayurveda) that connect the body and the mind.
Massaging the head promotes deep relaxation, brings clarity and strength to the senses, helps balance the brain’s chemistry, and stimulates hair growth.
Applying herbal oils to the hair is an Ayurvedic tradition thousands of years old. It’s used to support thick and luxurious hair.
