Ayurveda massage treatments: a treat for the body
Published: April 2, 2026
Indian Ayurvedic massages focus on holistic health.
The ancient healing art of Ayurveda teaches that the human body is influenced by three life energies, known as the doshas – Vata, Kapha, and Pitta. The goal of Ayurvedic massages is to bring these three doshas into balance and maintain that balance. According to Ayurvedic health teachings, various factors such as stress or an unbalanced diet can cause these three energies to become imbalanced.
At Hotel Larimar, guests can experience authentic Ayurveda with experienced top specialists from India. In addition to Ayurvedic treatments, this holistic vacation also includes Ayurvedic nutrition, Hatha yoga, and a healthy wellness program. A special feature: Larimar offers the unique opportunity in Europe to combine Ayurvedic massages with F.X. Mayr cures. This can particularly promote and restore gut health, strengthen the immune system, and detoxify the body.
Ayurveda massage types for a better sense of well-being
Whether it’s an Abhyanga full-body massage, a Padabhyanga foot massage, or a Shirodhara forehead oil treatment: Ayurvedic massages are one of the main components of Ayurvedic health practices, alongside yoga, herbal medicine, and nutrition.
At the Ayurveda hotel Larimar in Austria, a massage is tailored to a guest’s individual needs using a variety of techniques and can also be used as a preventive measure.
The diverse range of treatments at the Larimar Hotel allows for a tailored approach to each guest’s Ayurvedic body type and needs, helping to restore balance to the doshas. Experienced Indian masters from Kerala are available to guests year-round.
The doshas – the foundation of Ayurvedic massage treatments
The Ayurvedic constitution and the three doshas form the cornerstones of Ayurvedic massages and Ayurvedic medicine. Their balance influences the body’s individual characteristics.
Life energies can be compared to the elements of nature. The Vata dosha represents the element of air and is responsible for circulation, digestion, and movement. Vata types are more prone to sleep disturbances and should eat regular, warm meals.
The Pitta dosha is associated with the elements of fire and water and is responsible for metabolism. A Pitta type is more prone to skin conditions and should avoid coffee, alcohol, or spicy foods.
The Kapha dosha is comparable to the elements of water and earth. A strong expression of this dosha can indicate sluggish digestion and a lack of desire for movement, which is why Kapha types should avoid heavy and sweet foods as well as dairy products.
Yoga combined with Ayurvedic massages
Both Hatha yoga exercises and Ayurvedic treatments can support the body’s healing process. The goal is for individuals to regenerate physically and mentally through targeted treatments and specific yoga exercises. To maximize well-being on both levels, Ayurveda and Hatha yoga are often combined with meditation. For this reason, Ayurvedic treatments often include techniques from Hatha Yoga.
In addition to its extensive range of Ayurvedic detox programmes and massages, the Hotel Larimar offers a unique health and wellness holiday in Austria with its spacious wellness and sauna area and much more. Book your rejuvenating stay today!
