Abhyanga is also great for your body, hydrating your skin and drawing out impurities.

How does Abhyanga Massage Therapy Work?

An abhyanga massage usually requires two practitioners to work your body simultaneously. Warm sesame oil infused with different herbs is layered on your skin and used to work your muscles and ligaments. The oil is part absorbed by the skin, while dead cells and impurities are drawn out or released through your lymph system. A hot bath, shower or steam after the massage helps the oil to be absorbed by the body.

The abhyanga massage is carried out in silence, adding to the feeling of total relaxation and inner calm. The massage, combined with the oil and the serene atmosphere, is a great way to help your body reach equilibrium and peace.
