Abhyanga - Ayurvedic Oil Massage
Deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, Ayurvedic oil massage involves the application and massage of warm, herb-infused, dosha-specific oil all over the body. Long, rhythmic, sweeping massage strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints create heat to enable deeper absorption of the oil. The warm oil deeply penetrates the skin to loosen physical, mental and spiritual ama (toxins) at a cellular level. Abhyanga offers multiple health benefits. It nourishes tissues, improves circulation, cleanses the skin and improves overall health. It balances all doshas but particularly vata. The whole experience calms the nervous system and elicits a deep sense of grounding and relaxation.
MORE INFORMATION
The Sanskrit word Abhyanga comes from the roots ‘Abhi’ (into/glow) and ‘Anga’ (limb) and means to massage the body's limbs / glowing body.
Dis-ease is caused by a build-up of toxins in the body. Abhyanga helps to balance the Doshas and expel toxins from the body. The warm oil penetrates through the skin and softens and loosens toxins stored in our joints, muscles, and organs. Diluted toxins and excess doshas that are loosened through massage travel via the circulatory system to the GI tract, where they are released from the body.
Abhyanga also has a profound effect on the nervous system. Rhythmical massage soothes and calms the nervous system creating a calming, healing and rejuvenating effect.
Abhyanga is one of the Ayurvedic Dinacharya methods (daily practices) recommended for maintaining optimal health. It is also used as a Purvakarma (preparatory treatment) for ayurvedic Panchakarma.

"Akanksha’s hands are strong and skilful and I could feel the benefit of her knowledge and care right from the start of my treatment. The whole process was deeply relaxing but also unlocked a lot of energy as it brought me back to my centre.
There is profound healing in this work and I’d recommend it to anyone who needs rebalancing and wants to get more in touch with themselves. Many thanks, Akanksha!"
