Abhyanga Treatment center in Trivandrum

What is Abhyanga?

Abhyanga is a traditional full-body Ayurvedic oil massage that uses warm, medicated herbal oils to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is one of the most widely practiced therapies in Ayurveda and serves both preventive and curative purposes. Abhyanga not only nourishes the skin and strengthens muscles but also balances the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), supports detoxification, and promotes a deep sense of calm and rejuvenation.

What are the indications?

Abhyanga is recommended for:

Stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue
Muscular tension and joint stiffness
Dry or aging skin
Poor circulation and lymphatic drainage
Insomnia and sleep disorders
Hormonal imbalances
General fatigue and weakness
Lifestyle disorders caused by sedentary routines

What is the Treatment Procedure?

The treatment begins with a short consultation to determine your prakriti (body constitution) and select the appropriate medicated oil.
Warm herbal oil is applied from head to toe in synchronized, rhythmic strokes by trained therapist.
The massage typically lasts for 45 to 60 minutes, followed by a warm shower to aid in detoxification.
Abhyanga can be performed as a standalone rejuvenation therapy or as part of a Panchakarma program.
