Abhyanga - Athreya Ayurveda

Abhyanga is a traditional warm herbal oil massage meant to tone the body and calm the mind. Classically formulated herbal oils specific to the hair, face, and body are selected by Ayurvedic experts. These herbal oils are picked according to one’s body constitution or dosha, season or to address a specific health need. The flow of the massage involves specific strokes touching the energy points of the body and facilitating circulation. Classic Ayurvedic literature says that Abhyanga helps improve flexibility, prevents premature aging, energizes the body, calms the nervous system, brightens the eyes, aids quality sleep, and tones the body tissues.
