› Performing the garshan

 

As mentioned above, the garshan, as the raw silk glove massage is called in Ayurveda, is similar to abhyanga, the ayurvedic full-body oil massage. It is done using pleasant circular motions and strokes over the entire body. Two raw silk gloves are used for the  massage, which produces a pleasant rough feeling on the skin but does not hurt it as can be the case in brush massages.

› Uses of garshan

Garshan, an Ayurveda dry massage,

is a form of Ayurveda massage that stimulates the circulation and blood supply and boosts lymphatic flow and the metabolism. The skin and tissue is firmed and a soft exfoliating effect is produced. This exfoliating effect carefully cleanses the skin of dead skin cells. This is why garshan massage is frequently used as a preparation for oil massages as the oils can penetrate into the skin better.

This massage gives the skin a soft and smooth complexion.
