Ayurvedic Abhyangam – A Timeless Ritual for Modern Life

Abhyangam is an age-old Ayurvedic practice, a full-body massage using warm, herbal oils specially chosen for your unique body type (dosha). It's more than relaxation; it is a form of self-care rooted in ancient Indian healing traditions.

Through gentle, rhythmic strokes and intentional pressure, Abhyangam helps improve blood flow, supports the lymphatic system, and clears toxins (ama) built up from stress, fatigue, or poor lifestyle habits. It softens the skin, eases muscle tension, calms the nervous system, and helps you sleep better. In Ayurveda, this kind of daily touch is not just therapeutic; it is considered essential to keep the mind and body in balance.
