ABHYANGA (Ayurvedic Oil Massage)

What is Abhyanga?

Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic full body massage performed with warm herbal oils. It is one of the most important therapies in Panchakarma and daily Ayurvedic lifestyle (Dinacharya). In this therapy, medicated oil is applied to the entire body with gentle and rhythmic strokes to nourish body tissues, improve circulation, and balance the Vata Dosha.

According to Ayurveda, Abhyanga helps remove accumulated toxins (Ama) from the body, improves the functioning of muscles and joints, and promotes overall physical and mental wellbeing. Regular Abhyanga therapy keeps the body strong, flexible, and rejuvenated.
