Abhyanga - Full Body Oil Massage
Description
Deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, Ayurvedic oil massage involves the application and massage of warm, herb-infused, dosha-specific oil all over the body. Long repetitive massage strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints create heat to enable deeper absorption of the oil. The whole experience calms the nervous system and elicits a deep sense of grounding and relaxation.
More Information
Ayurveda explains that disease is caused by a build-up of toxins (Ama) in the body. Toxins are formed due to an impaired Agni (digestive fire) and an imbalance of Doshas. Abhyanga helps to balance the Doshas and expel toxins from the body. The warm oil penetrates through our skin to soften and loosen toxins stored in our joints, muscles, and organs. Toxins that are loosened through
Oleation travel through the circulatory system to the GI tract, where they are released from the body. It is recommended that people do their own Abhyanga at home daily as a routine to maintain good health.

"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!"
