Abhyangam (Ayurvedic Massage)
At Lifestyle Ayurveda, we specialize in authentic Abhyangam (Ayurvedic Massage), an ancient therapy rooted in the principles of Ayurveda. Abhyangam, also known as full-body Ayurvedic oil massage, is designed to restore balance, enhance overall well-being, and rejuvenate both body and mind.
Our team of experienced Ayurvedic doctors and therapists ensures that each session is personalized according to your body type (Prakriti) and health needs.
What is Abhyangam?
Abhyangam is one of the most popular Ayurvedic therapies, practiced for thousands of years in India. The word “Abhyangam” comes from the Sanskrit term “Abhyanga,” which means “oil massage” or “application of oil to the body.” It involves the use of warm, herbal oils and specific massage techniques to stimulate circulation, promote detoxification, and harmonize the body’s energy channels (doshas).
This therapy is not just a massage; it is a therapeutic treatment that improves health at physical, mental, and emotional levels. Abhyangam is suitable for all age groups and can help with a wide range of conditions including stress, fatigue, joint stiffness, and poor circulation.
