ABHYANGA - AYURVEDIC HERBAL FULL BODY MASSAGE.

Deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, Ayurvedic oil massage involves the application and massage of warm, herb-infused, dosha-specific oil all over the body through long repetitive massage strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints. The repetitive strokes create heat, enable deeper absorption of the oil and elicit a deep sense of grounding, relaxation, and calm as your dosha is pacified.

Ayurveda explains that disease is caused by a build-up of toxins (Ama) in the body. Toxins are formed due to an impaired Agni (digestive fire) and an imbalance of Doshas. Abhyanga helps to balance the Doshas and expel toxins from the body. The warm oil penetrates through our skin to soften and loosen toxins stored in our joints, muscles, and organs. Toxins that are loosened through Oleation travel through the circulatory system to the GI tract, where they are released from the body. It is recommended that people do their own Abhyanga at home daily as a routine to maintain good health.
