About Abhyanga

Abhyanga is a Panchakarma treatment that aims to nourish and detoxify the body. It involves a gentle, synchronized massage by trained therapists using medicated oils, tailored to an individual's specific needs and constitution. The therapy helps to balance the doshas, improve circulation, and remove toxins from the body.

How the Procedure Works (Step-by-Step)

The Abhyanga procedure typically begins with a consultation to determine the individual's Prakriti (constitution) and identify the most suitable oil for the treatment. The massage is then performed in a warm, comfortable environment, using long strokes, kneading, and gentle pressure to work the oil into the skin. The treatment may be customized to focus on specific areas of tension or concern.
