General Massage Treatment center in Trivandrum

What is General Massage?

General Massage, known in Ayurveda as Abhyangam, is a full-body therapeutic oil massage using warm, medicated herbal oils tailored to an individual’s body type (dosha) and health condition. Performed with rhythmic, synchronized strokes, this massage is not just a relaxing experience but a powerful therapy that promotes detoxification, improves circulation, nourishes the skin, and balances the nervous system. Abhyangam is one of the most essential therapies in preventive and curative Ayurvedic healthcare.

What are the indications?

General Massage (Abhyangam) is recommended for:

General fatigue and body stiffness
Stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders
Poor blood circulation and low immunity
Joint and muscle pain
Premature aging and dry skin
Lifestyle-related disorders (including computer strain, travel fatigue)
Digestive sluggishness
Post-illness recovery and rejuvenation

What is the Treatment Procedure?

A consultation is done to select the appropriate medicated oil based on your prakriti and current health condition.
Warm oil is applied all over the body, from scalp to soles, using firm, rhythmic strokes.
Two therapists may perform the massage in a synchronized manner for maximum benefit.
The massage typically lasts 45–60 minutes.
After the session, mild steam therapy or a warm water bath is recommended to help absorb the oil and release toxins.
The treatment can be done as a standalone session or as part of a detox/rejuvenation program.
