Abhyangam – Ayurvedic Full Body Oil Massage for Rejuvenation
Rejuvenate Your Body and Mind with Abhyangam
In the midst of daily stress, sedentary lifestyle, and environmental toxins, your body needs a healing touch that goes beyond relaxation. Abhyangam is an ancient Ayurvedic full-body oil massage that not only soothes the muscles but also balances the doshas, improves circulation, and supports holistic wellness. This deeply nourishing therapy restores vitality, calms the mind, and enhances overall well-being.
What is Abhyangam ?
Abhyangam is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that involves a synchronized full-body massage using warm medicated oils chosen according to your body constitution (dosha). The massage is done using rhythmic strokes and pressure techniques to stimulate vital energy points, detoxify the body, and promote physical and mental balance.
Abhyangam is not just a massage—it is a rejuvenating experience that supports immunity, skin health, and longevity.
Benefits of Abhyangam
Choosing Abhyangam offers a wide range of therapeutic and wellness benefits:
- Relieves muscle stiffness, fatigue, and joint pain
- Improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Nourishes skin and enhances natural glow
- Calms the nervous system and reduces stress and anxiety
- Boosts immunity and helps in detoxification
- Promotes sound sleep and mental clarity
Ideal Candidates for Abhyangam
Abhyangam is suitable for:
Individuals suffering from stress, fatigue, or anxiety
Office workers or those with sedentary lifestyles
People experiencing stiffness, joint discomfort, or poor circulation
Those seeking regular body maintenance and detoxification
Anyone looking to balance Vata dosha and support long-term wellness
Individuals undergoing Panchakarma or seasonal rejuvenation
Precautions for Abhyangam
Abhyangam is generally safe, but it’s best to consult an Ayurvedic expert beforehand—especially in cases of fever, indigestion, or acute illness. The oils and pressure are customized to individual needs to avoid overstimulation or imbalance.
How is Abhyangam Performed?
The Abhyangam procedure is conducted in a calming, therapeutic environment:
Oil Selection: Personalized medicated oil is chosen based on your dosha and current health condition.
Massage: Two therapists perform synchronized strokes, massaging from head to toe in a rhythmic and therapeutic manner.
Sweating: The session is often followed by a mild herbal steam (Swedana) to open pores and enhance detox.
Rest & Recovery: Post-massage rest is encouraged for full absorption of the herbal oils and to allow the body to reset.
The treatment duration typically ranges from 45 to 60 minutes and may be repeated as part of a wellness program.
