Features of the procedure
The pressure, speed, and oils used during the massage are selected individually based on the patient’s constitution and health condition. The treatment covers every part of the patient’s body—from head to toe—with oil applied all over the body, including the hair and scalp. The effect of the massage can be invigorating, soothing, or relaxing. Abhyanga promotes the elimination of toxins, relaxes muscles, increases spinal flexibility, and improves joint mobility. By improving metabolic processes, the massage helps to sculpt the body. Healing oils smooth wrinkles, nourish, and moisturize the skin. Abhyanga is recommended for improving joint function, nourishing body tissues, and restoring dosha balance.
