Ayurveda - The Science of Life
Ayurveda is an age-old holistic health system that brings body, mind and soul into harmony. At Mas l'Epicure in France, you can experience this traditional art of healing in its purest form - a treat for all the senses that does you good on holiday and in everyday life alike.
For house guests and outside visitors
Abhyanga - The Queen
of Ayurvedic Massages
The Abhyanga massage, also known as the “mother of massages”, is a central element of the Ayurvedic culture of well-being. Precious oils are gently applied to the skin and worked in with loving strokes. At Mas l'Epicure, we use warming sesame oil in the cold months and regional olive oil or refreshing coconut oil in summer, enriched with essences of Provence - for an authentic and unique massage experience.
Price: 90 minutes of pure relaxation - only €110
Why an Ayurvedic massage
at Mas l'Epicure?
The Abhyanga massage is more than just relaxation:
It promotes deep relaxation, releases tension and brings the bioenergies (doshas) into balance.
The stimulated lymph flow supports detoxification and helps to eliminate metabolic waste.
The high-quality oils nourish the skin and leave it feeling silky smooth.
During the massage, you can switch off completely, let go of stress and recharge your batteries - ideal for holidaymakers and anyone who wants to treat themselves to a break from everyday life.
Ayurvedic head, hand & foot massage:
deep relaxation at Mas l'Epicure
Padabhyanga - Ayurvedic Foot Massage
A deeply soothing and relaxing massage with a renewing and strengthening effect on your whole body. Warm oils are used to skilfully stroke, massage and revitalise your feet and calves right up to the knees.
Hathabhyanga - Ayurvedic Hand Massage
Just like the foot massage, it stimulates the metabolism, supports lymphatic flow, relaxes and energises.
The seven marma points on the hand serve to strengthen the heart, breathing and lung function and to relax tense muscles.
Shiroabhyanga and Mukhabhyanga - Ayurvedic Head and Face Massage
As the third, complementary part of the Ayurvedic treatment, the combined head and face massage is an intense experience of mental “letting go”. It is invigorating, thanks to the vigorous techniques on the head, neck and shoulders, and at the same time deeply relaxing as the face, nape and décolleté are massaged. It eases nervous tension while caring for the skin with high-quality ingredients and enhancing its radiance.
I practise these three massages together because they complement each other perfectly and enhance each other’s effect.
Cost of the 3 massages: 60 minutes - €70
Whether you are enjoying your holiday in France or simply want to treat yourself in everyday life: an Ayurvedic massage at Mas l'Epicure is an unforgettable experience for body and mind. Treat yourself to this time out and feel the beneficial effects of the traditional Indian art of healing - right here in France.

Fever: If you have a fever or elevated body temperature, it is not advisable to have a massage, as it may worsen the symptoms.
In cases of acute skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, or severe skin irritation, massage should be avoided to prevent further irritation or worsening of symptoms.
In the case of open wounds, bruises, sprains, or fractures in the head, neck, or shoulder area, massage should be avoided to prevent additional injury or discomfort.
