Abhyanga - Ayurvedic Oil Massage

Deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage involves the application and massage of warm, herb-infused, dosha-specific oil all over the body. Long, rhythmic, sweeping massage strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints create heat to enable deeper absorption of the oil. The warm oil deeply penetrates the skin to loosen physical, mental and spiritual ama (toxins) at a cellular level. Abhyanga offers multiple health benefits. It nourishes tissues, improves circulation, cleanses the skin and improves overall health. It balances all doshas but particularly vata. With its profound effect on the nervous system, Abhyanga elicits a deep sense of grounding and relaxation.
