Garshana is an ancient practice of Ayurveda in which massaging is done to remove Ama (digestive toxins) from the body. Garshana in Sanskrit means ‘Friction by rubbing’. People who have to take the Garshana treatment are those suffering from Kapha imbalance. Kapha imbalance includes overweight, lymphatic slowness, dullness physically and mentally and water retention.
Garshana is a wonderful addition to your morning routine of getting ready for the day. Lymphatic massaging enhances your blood circulation and releases accumulated toxins from the body. Garshana removes Ama and helps your body be alert. It improves circulation, nourishes the body and removes blockages in the physiology.
Garshana Massage Therapy or Dry Skin Brushing is done by wearing gloves made of raw silk, or wool or using a terry towel without any usage of oil. Though all bodies can be massaged, it focuses especially on the feet, stomach and arms, and each area is massaged at a time.
After the massage, you will feel lighter, with improved energy and vitality. The mind feels rejuvenated and more happy and satisfactory. Garshana removes toxins in the body without disturbing the natural functions of the body. This massage therapy also helps to relieve stress and stimulates blood circulation.
