Abhyangam

Abhyangam is a traditional Ayurvedic full-body massage that involves the application of warm, medicated herbal oils. It is one of the most essential therapies in Ayurveda, aimed at promoting overall health, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Abhyangam means massaging the body with oil in the direction of the body’s energy flow, helping to balance the three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Treatment Process:

  • Performed by one or two therapists in a synchronized manner
  • Duration: 45–60 minutes
  • Oils are chosen based on the individual's body health condition
  • Often followed by Swedana for enhanced detoxification
    • Request for your

    Key Concepts of Abhyangam

  • Dosha Balance: Abhyangam helps in balancing the three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha which govern all bodily functions. It is especially effective in reducing excess Vata, which causes dryness, stiffness, and anxiety.
  • Snehana (Oleation): Abhyangam is a form of external oleation therapy, where herbal oils are used to nourish the body, soften tissues, and loosen toxins for elimination.
  • Marma Therapy: The massage involves gentle stimulation of Marma points (vital energy points in the body), promoting physical and mental healing.
  • Detoxification: The warm oils penetrate the skin, helping to dislodge toxins (Ama) from deep tissues and prepare them for removal through Swedana (herbal steam therapy).
  • Lymphatic Drainage & Circulation: Abhyangam stimulates the lymphatic system, enhances blood circulation, and supports the body's natural detox and immune functions.
  • Customized Herbal Oils: Oils are chosen based on an individual’s body constitution (Prakriti) and specific health needs. These oils are infused with medicinal herbs tailored to each condition.
  • Daily Wellness Practice (Dinacharya): In classical Ayurveda, Abhyangam is recommended as a daily self-care routine to maintain youthfulness, energy, and emotional balance.
