AYURVEDIC MASSAGE

The Flame Tree Estate & Hotel offers excellent on-site Ayurvedic Massage for its guests, which can be booked in advance through the Hotel Office.

​

​THE TREATMENT BENEFITS

The classic ayurvedic abhyanga oil massage that is available at The Flame Tree Estate & Hotel is focused on manipulating energy fields by applying itself more to the skin, rather than just to the underlying muscles. It helps detox the body, improve circulation, release muscle tension and reduce stress; and is especially good in nourishing the skin from head to toe as well.​

​

​

THE TREATMENT TECHNIQUES

Unlike a sport massage which primarily kneads the muscles and skin, the ayurvedic abhyanga oil massage involves long, gliding strokes.  It can also involve rhythmic tapping, using the fingers or hands, to stimulates nerve endings and rejuvenate the skin; quicker back-and-forth movements to generate heat and enhance blood flow; and specific pressure movements to target muscles and joints.

​

​

THE PRACTITIONERS

The hotel employs two on-call fully qualified Ayurveda masseuse: Udaya Rajapaksha; and Yamuna Jayawickrama. Both are trained in a full range of Ayurveda practices including Panchakarma and Abhyanga; as well as Reflexology; and have been practicing for over 14 years each.
