A therapeutic ritual of healing, rejuvenation, and balance at Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital

What is Abhyanga?

Abhyanga is a deeply rejuvenating full-body oil massage, rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. It is not just a wellness therapy but a holistic treatment that balances the body, mind, and spirit. In Sanskrit, “Abhyanga” means “to massage” or “to anoint,” and this daily practice has been celebrated in Ayurvedic texts for its immense benefits.

At Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital, Abhyanga is personalized to suit each individual’s constitution (Prakriti) and health condition (Vikriti), ensuring a therapeutic experience tailored to restore harmony and vitality.

How Abhyanga Works?

Abhyanga involves the application of warm, medicated herbal oils to the entire body, followed by a rhythmic massage by trained Ayurvedic therapists. The oils used are carefully selected based on the individual’s dosha imbalance—Vata, Pitta, or Kapha.

The therapy works on multiple levels:

Physical – Enhances circulation, detoxifies the body, nourishes skin and muscles.

Neurological – Calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and improves sleep quality.

Energetic – Stimulates Marma (vital energy) points, restoring balance to the subtle energy channels (Nadis).

Key Benefits of Abhyanga

• Detoxification and lymphatic drainage
• Relief from joint and muscle stiffness
• Improved skin texture and glow
• Reduced anxiety, stress, and fatigue
• Better digestion and metabolism
• Strengthened immune function
• Delays signs of aging and supports longevity

Who Should Opt for Abhyanga?

Abhyanga is beneficial for:

• Individuals experiencing stress, fatigue, or burnout
• Those with dry skin, poor circulation, or joint pain
• Patients undergoing Panchakarma as a preparatory or supportive therapy
• People seeking to maintain overall wellness and vitality

It is especially recommended during seasonal transitions and for Vata and Pitta imbalance.
