Abhyanga Body Massage
Abhyanga Body Massage
Abyanga massage is a gentle but firm full body massage from the toe to head using warm medicated oils. The oils are chosen according to the prakriti i.e psychosomatic constitution and the vikruti i.e. current state of balance or imbalance.

The massage is done in a soft rhythmic way and the gharshana increases circulation and stimulates the pores to accept the warm oil.

The massage techniques and guidelines are developed keeping the knowledge of channels and nadi locations in priority. Specific concentration on a harmonized stimulation of "marmas" i.e Energy points/Meridian points is given during the massage.

Hrishi Vaagbhatta defines marma as the meeting point of mamsa (i.e. muscle), asthi (i.e. bones), sira (i.e. vessels conveying body fluids and impulses), snayu (i.e. tendons), dhaman and sandhi (i.e. articulate points, specially bone points) and where the prana is present. This is similar with the Chinese Meridian concept.

According to psychosomatic constitution or disease, different types of oils are selected for Marma massage.

After the massage a steam bath or hot shower is highly recommended.
