Abhyangam

About This Therapy

Abhyangam is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic therapeutic massage — a full-body treatment using medicated oils carefully chosen to balance your unique dosha (body type). Deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts, Abhyangam is far more than a relaxation massage. It is a systematic, therapeutic protocol designed to nourish tissues, stimulate the lymphatic system, and support the body's natural detoxification pathways. Regular Abhyangam is considered essential preventive medicine in the Ayurvedic tradition.

How It Works

The session begins with a thorough assessment of your prakriti (constitution) and current imbalances to determine the most suitable medicated oil. The therapist then performs a full-body massage using long, rhythmic strokes in the direction of hair follicles and energy channels, gradually building warmth and circulation. Oil is worked into every area of the body including the scalp, face, and joints. The session may be followed by steam therapy to enhance absorption and detoxification.
