Abhyangam is a traditional Ayurvedic full-body massage using warm medicated oils. This therapy promotes overall health, well-being, and longevity by balancing the doshas, improving circulation, and detoxifying the body.
Benefits
Benefits: Abhyangam helps in relieving stress, reducing muscle tension, and improving skin texture. It enhances circulation, boosts immunity, and promotes better sleep. The oils used in the massage penetrate deeply into the skin, nourishing tissues and aiding in the elimination of toxins.
Procedure: The treatment begins with selecting appropriate oils based on the individual’s dosha constitution. The warm oil is then applied generously to the entire body, followed by a systematic massage using gentle, rhythmic strokes. The massage technique varies to ensure that all body parts receive adequate attention. Special focus is given to areas of tension or discomfort. After the massage, a steam bath or warm shower is often recommended to enhance the absorption of the oils and promote further detoxification.
Duration: A typical Abhyangam session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. Regular sessions, often weekly or bi-weekly, are recommended for maintaining optimal health and well-being.
Precautions: Abhyangam is generally safe for most individuals. However, it is important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, especially if there are any underlying health conditions or if you are pregnant. To learn more about our service click here.
