Abhyanga, meaning the loving prolonged massage, is an ancient treatment for pain relief and rejuvenation. The ancient Vedic scripture Sutrasthana describes this as “Abhyangam atimanusha sogatah mukhagnim pratishtatha” – abhyanga with unctuous substances massaged all over the body washes away diseases.

This holistic massage uses herbal oils that are variously blended to suit individual needs of specific areas or conditions on the body. These natural remedies help treat insomnia, digestive issues, stress related concerns etc. Abhyanga maintains health on a physical level by stimulating circulation of blood & lymphatic fluid within the body through gentle stretching movements on the joints of fingers & toes and smooth massage of the skin. The oil moisturizes the skin, which is said to benefit respiratory ailments such as asthma & bronchitis.

Abhyanga massage is a full-body oil massage that includes the head, face, and neck. This ancient Ayurvedic practice was developed in India over 5000 years ago by the sage Vātsyāyana. It involves repeatedly moving your hands in a rhythmic motion along with applying gentle pressure to specific acupressure points using kneading, stroking, and circular motions while massaging nadīs (energy channels) throughout the body.
