Why take Abhyangam Treatment

Traditional Ayurvedic oil massage: Abhyangam is a holistic therapy designed to rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit. It involves the rhythmic application of warm herbal oils tailored to an individual’s dosha, or body constitution, and is known for its myriad benefits. This treatment improves blood circulation, promotes detoxification, and enhances lymphatic drainage, nourishing and revitalising the body. It helps alleviate stress, reduce muscle tension, and improve joint mobility, making it ideal for those with physical or mental fatigue. Additionally, Abhyangam supports better sleep, strengthens the immune system, and nourishes the skin, making it a vital practice for overall health and well-being.

Full body massage:

We use long, flowing downward effleurage strokes with medicated oil in a sequence determined by your imbalanced dosha. This is followed by medicated steam treatment and a dosha-dependent balancing treatment. It prepares your body to eliminate the build-up of toxins and Arma in your system, aiding in the preparation of the body for other treatments.

Depending on your imbalanced dosha and the body's needs, which are often assessed during consultation, we may adapt the traditional style, flow towards the heart, or include other healing modalities or treatments.

This can include Marma stimulation, rebalancing or releasing (sometimes painful), or different strokes to loosen joints and shoulders and move energy. Deep tissue work may also be performed.

This massage promotes:

Healing/preventing nervous system disorders, strengthening the immune system, reducing fatigue and stress, promoting sleep, and making skin soft and deeply nourished.
