Ayurvedic Massages Table

Product Description

An Ayurvedic Massage Table is specifically designed to support the unique requirements of Ayurvedic therapies, which often involve generous use of warm herbal oils, herbal poultices, and therapeutic heat treatments. These tables are built differently from standard spa or physiotherapy tables to accommodate the flow, drainage, and absorption of oils.

Ayurvedic Massage Table Contains:

1. Main Table Structure (Base Frame)

• Made from solid wood (traditional) or FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) (modern).

• Designed to be sturdy, oil-resistant, and easy to clean.

• Typical dimensions: around 6.5ï7 feet long, 2.5 feet wide.

2. Droni (Top Surface)

• A slightly concave surface with raised edges to hold oils during massage.

• Boat-shaped in traditional wooden models.

• In FRP models, it may have a built-in slope for drainage.

3. Oil Drainage System

• Includes a central drainage hole at one end of the table.

• A pipe or funnel attached to drain oils into a collection pot or container.

• Ensures hygiene and prevents oil spillage.

4. Face Rest / Head Support

• Removable wooden headrest with face cutout in traditional models.

• In FRP models, the face hole is often built into the table.

• Supports correct alignment during prone-position treatments like Abhyanga.

5. Optional Padding or Mattress

• Traditional wooden tables usually have no mattress, allowing direct oil use.

• Modern versions may have oil-proof mattresses or cushions for comfort.

• Covered with waterproof, oil-resistant material (e.g., rubber, medical-grade vinyl).

6. Shirodhara Attachment (Optional)

• Shirodhara stand or pole to suspend the Shirodhara pot above the client's forehead.

• For Shirodhara therapy, where warm oil is poured steadily on the forehead.

7. Legs or Cabinet Base

• Wooden legs or a cabinet-style base with storage compartments.

• Sturdy enough to hold body weight and oil vessels.

8. Oil Collection Bowl / Pot

• Placed beneath the drainage system to collect used oil.

• Often made of stainless steel, copper, or brass (Ayurvedic preference).

Optional Accessories

• Towel rails

• Footstool for client access

• Heaters for warming oils

• Bolsters and pillows

• Disposable sheets or drapes
