Abhyanga is a full body massage with warm oil, which is performed synchronously by two therapists. Depending on the symptoms, the treatment takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
Abhyanga is carried out both as an individual treatment and as preparation for Panchakarma. The medicinal oils used are very carefully selected according to the patient’s condition.
Ayurveda attributes many positive effects to Abhyanga. It opens the so-called srotas (fine body channels) so that ama (metabolic toxins) can be removed. At the same time Abhyanga nourishes the skin and the individual tissue layers, strengthens the body, supports the blood and lymph circulation, relaxes the muscles and the nervous system.
