Abhyanga – full-body massage with warm Ayurvedic oil
Abhyanga massage is a full-body oil massage with loving hands for longevity and purification of the body from toxins (ama). Abhyanga promotes longevity, nourishes every part of the body, relieves pain, stiffness, tiredness and reduces stress. The word Abhyanga is translated as „rubbing the lymph“, which involves a copious amount of “warm” oil, long strokes and circular motions around the joints.
