Ardessie Specialty Massage
The origins and history of Massage and Head Massage can be traced back thousands of years, making it one of the oldest therapies known to mankind.
Massage boasts a rich history of tried and tested techniques developed throughout the world over thousands of years. The earliest written testimonies, apparently dating back to around 3,000 BC, are evident in various cultures. The Ayur Veda - the Indian scriptural text and foundation of Ayurvedic Medicine, circa 1,800 BC, as well as depictions of massage on ancient Egyptian temples and tombs, showcase its enduring presence.
The Chinese Neiching, written 3,000 years ago by the Legendary 'Yellow Emperor" records in meticulous details the classic theory and practice of Oriental Medicine, including many references to the art of massage.
Then, to the Ancient Greek and Roman physicians, massage was one of the principal means of healing and relieving pain.
In 500 BC, Hipprocates - the Father of Modern Medicine - wrote: "The Physician must be experienced in many things but assuredly also in rubbing" (which he called 'anatripsis').
There exists far more information about the different massage styles and techniques, but at Ardessie we specialise in Aromatherapy and Relaxation Massages as the main form of healing. Katia firmly believes that the balancing art of aromatherapy and relaxation massage offer a pathway to health and healing, and will enable you to begin living in harmony with nature and your own unique constitution. The listings below provide an insight into the all-round effectiveness of these practises.
