Abhyangam

Abhyanga massage therapy, a cornerstone of Ayurvedic practice, involves using warm herbal oils to massage the body in the direction of arterial blood flow. This therapeutic technique enhances blood circulation, relieves pain and stiffness, and promotes relaxation by correcting Dosha imbalances. It is integral to Panchakarma treatments, aiding detoxification by mobilizing toxins for elimination. Abhyanga encompasses various types tailored to specific needs: Sarvanga for full-body benefits, Shiro for head massage, Ekanga for targeted relief, Pada for foot care, and specialized massages for newborns and postnatal recovery. Regular Abhyanga improves skin health, alleviates stress, enhances mental clarity, and supports overall well-being. The choice of oil depends on the predominant Dosha imbalance, ensuring personalized therapeutic benefits. Whether administered by a professional or practiced at home, Abhyanga offers profound rejuvenation and holistic health benefits.
