Points to Remember during the Therapy
As compared to Abhyangam (Ayurvedic full body massage - explained in a previous article), this treatment will require more pressure and speed;
Apply oil in between if the paste gets dry, as it may lead to a mild itching sensation during the rubbing movements;
Remember to move your body with your strokes. Appropriate body position and movement will also ensure that you do not build up pain in your body while giving this treatment;
During the long strokes, keep your legs wide apart, as it enables better and more uniform movement and pressure, which will also enable you to use your body weight and not the arm pressure.
