Abhyanga
Abhyanga(Ayurveda massage)
Ayurveda has advised to Abhyanga as daily regimen. Accumulated stress and toxins in the mind and body dissolve during the daily massage. A daily full-body warm oil massage therefore acts as a powerful recharger and rejuvenator of mind and body. It is an integral part of the daily routine for overall health and well-being.
It is like oiling the engine of your car — if you do it regularly, your engine will be in good condition, and give you years and years of trouble free performance. Abhyanga provides trans-dermal absorption of the healing qualities of the medicated oil used in the massage, and it helps the skin, which is the largest organ in the body, perform its diverse functions efficiently, whether it is allowing toxins to be released from the body or nourishment to be absorbed by the tissues.
Abhyanga is an ancient Indian Ayurveda oil massage therapy for healing and detoxifying body, mind and soul. It is performed by herbal oils. It incorporates an aromatic combination of oils prepared with herbs warmed and blended according to Dosha of particular person. Lymphatic stimulation with Ayurveda herbal oil helps to squeeze out toxic accumulation from channels. Hence it is detoxifying massage. As warm oil is used, it controls Vata which maintains healthy body and mind.
