Abhyangam
Experience Deep Relaxation with Authentic Abhyangam Therapy
Abhyangam
In Ayurveda, maintaining positive health and addressing pathologies requires specific daily and seasonal regimens, known as dinacharya and ritu charya, respectively. One of the key practices in dinacharya is Abhyangam, an Ayurvedic body massage designed to promote overall well-being. Meaning: The term Abhyangam is derived from two Sanskrit words: Abi (meaning "towards," "upon," or "into") and Anjana (meaning "to smear" or "rub with unctuous substances"). Essentially, Abhyangam involves massaging the body with oils, typically medicated, to nurture and rejuvenate the skin and tissues. The oil is massaged in the direction of hair growth, which supports the health of the skin and body. This practice can be done as a full-body session or focused on specific areas depending on the issue being addressed. It is particularly beneficial in dry climates, such as Dubai, where it helps counteract skin dryness and reduces stress levels.
Procedure :-
1.Purvakarma (Pre-Procedural Routine): oThe treatment room is prepared, ensuring comfort and a relaxing environment for the patient. oThe patient is asked to sit comfortably on the treatment table, ready for the procedure.
2.Pradhana Karma (Main Procedure):
oThe massage begins with the head, ears, face, and neck, followed by the rest of the body. The therapist uses warm, medicated oils, applying them gently to the skin while massaging in specified strokes, promoting circulation and lymphatic drainage.
3.Paschat Karma (Post-Procedural Measures):
oAfter the massage, any excess oil is wiped off using a towel. If additional therapies, such as fomentation (heat therapy), are recommended, they are carried out after the massage to further enhance the benefits.
Abhyangam is an excellent addition to your wellness routine, promoting both physical and mental health. Regular practice offers long-term benefits, including stress reduction, improved skin quality, and enhanced vitality.
