The origins of massage therapy are rooted in an ancient Indian and Hindu healing practices that were long before they were widely developed, and then became an well-established Western health and medical practice. The history of massage therapy goes back to around 3000 BCE (earlier) in India, when it was believed to be a sacred natural system of healing. Legend tells us that the king Ajatsatru was once treated by Lord Buddha by massage. The massage was able to heal the sick monarch. Legend says Ajatsatru was able to heal the king when returning from his mission. The king then began to massage the bodies of the kingdom's kings with oils and herbs in order to treat the bodies. It was at this moment when massage therapy first developed.
