In a time when many have rediscovered the way 'back to nature', a book such as Ayurvedic massage is an excellent fit. It contains one of the oldest known therapies for rejuvenating the body, strengthening muscles, restoring fatigue, removing toxins and repelling fat. By using the herbal oils with their medicinal properties, Ayurvedic massage offers many advantages over a normal massage.

The book deals with a total body massage; separate massages of the head, neck, neck, ears and nose; therapeutic massages and a method of self-massage. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, partly due to the photos.

Ayurvedic massage is useful not only for those who struggle with health problems, but for anyone who feels well physically and mentally and wants to stay without medicines and surgeries.
