Abhyanga
Traditional Ayurvedic full-body oil massage for health and rejuvenation
About This Treatment
Abhyanga is traditional Ayurvedic oil massage performed with warm, herbal-infused oils selected for your dosha type. The massage uses long, flowing strokes that follow the direction of circulation and lymphatic flow. More than just relaxation, abhyanga is considered essential self-care in Ayurveda, supporting detoxification, nourishing tissues, calming the nervous system, and promoting longevity when done regularly.

What to Expect
You'll undress and lie on a massage table while the therapist applies warm, dosha-specific oil. The massage uses rhythmic, flowing strokes covering the entire body. The oil is worked deeply into tissues. Sessions last 60-90 minutes. Afterward, you may rest briefly, then shower (though leaving some oil on skin is beneficial). Regular abhyanga (daily or weekly) provides cumulative benefits. You'll feel grounded and nourished.
