Get and Stay Well – Ayurveda
Abhyanga
Abhyanga is a whole-body massage with specific herbal oils to nourish and revitalize the body tissues and remove toxins from the cells.
Performed symmetrically by therapists for one hour, Abhyanga has deep-healing effects by naturally harmonizing body, mind and spirit, and is usually followed by a medicated steam bath.
Abhyanga rejuvenates the whole body – increasing tissue strength, improving blood circulation, removing cellulite, delaying ageing, inducing sound sleep, promoting vitality, pacifying Vata imbalance, reducing stress and removing toxins.
Ayurvedic massage offers lasting relief from chronic aches and pains such as backache, joint/rheumatic pain and migraine.
