Have you tried a Garshana Massage?
Garshana is a dry massage aimed at stimulating the skin and lymphatic system. The use of silk gloves are particularly recommended for those with a Vata constitution due to the gloves soothing and soft nature.

The friction and static electricity created during the massage refreshes and stimulates the skin, improving metabolism and blood circulation.
