Human skin is fundamentally the largest organ of the body. It acts as an excellent barrier for preventing the easy entry of harmful micro-organisms into the body. Abhyanga Treatment therapy is the art of Ayurveda with remedial ayurvedic oils.

Stress, poor diet, and frantic energy can wear the immune system down to a mere nub. Doing a regular abhyanga helps to move the lymph, stimulate digestion, and enliven the muscles and joints to help keep us healthy and flexible.

This Ayurvedic full body treatment keeps the Vata dosha in balance, improves the skin texture, brings a healthy glow, and improves your sleep. The Vata dosha (the Ayurvedic energy) tends to be indecisive, fast, changeable, unstable, and dry. In Autumn the Vata character that each one of us has, becomes even stronger. Thus, it is important to balance it. Abhyanga is a simple and quick great balance provider.

In the Ayurvedic the aim of Abhyanga is to create balance between the body, mind and spirit, by stimulating the body´s energy channels and centers. In this treatment the oil is highly important as it is believed to bring balance as well as nourish the skin when applied through the massage strokes.

Ayurveda is a holistic healing approach that considers an individual as an entity and as a ‘Whole person’. This ancient science considers the physical, mental, emotional, environmental and sociological reasons contributing to a particular illness of an individual. While prescribing medications, Ayurveda does not stop with giving herbs or oils as remedies for a disease instead it suggests regular practice of yoga, meditation, taking an Ayurvedic diet, an Ayurvedic routine and certain other lifestyle changes according to an individual’s body type (doshas) and the unique constitution known as Prakriti. Ayurveda is a holistic method that considers the connection between mind, body and spirit.

Ayurvedic Abhyanga therapy involves the use of remedial oils like sesame oil, coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil and few other vegetable oils along with effective essential oils. It is a vital part of Panchakarma or the detoxification therapy, where the toxic substances of the body are removed and it inhibits the growth of harmful bodies through systematic rhythm.

The body of one who uses oil regularly does not become affected much even if subjected to accidental injuries, or strenuous work. By using oil treatment daily, a person is endowed with pleasant touch, trimmed body parts and becomes strong, charming and least affected by old age.
Charaka Samhita Vol. 1, V: 88-89

One who applies oil on his head regularly does not suffer from headache, baldness, graying of hair, nor does his hair fall. Strength of his head and forehead is especially enhanced; his hair becomes black, long and deep-rooted; his sense organs work properly; the skin of his face becomes brightened; applying oil on the head produces sound sleep and happiness.

The benefits of Abhyanga to different parts of the body are outlined in the Charaka Samhita as follows:

Abyangha for the head: nourishes the hair, soothes the sense organs, provides for sound sleep, increases cheerfulness and happiness, and can relieve or prevent headaches, premature graying or balding of the hair.

Abyangha for the body: nourishes the body, firms, nourishes and smoothes the skin, particularly beneficial for Vata disturbances, strengthens the body’s tolerance, increases longevity, prevents invasion by Vata, imparts firmness and strength to the limbs (body)

Abyangha for the feet: nourishes the skin, prevents dryness/cracking of the soles of the feet, relieves fatigue and numbness of the feet, provides strength and firmness, pacifies Vata, supports clarity of vision, and improves tone and blood flow.

Abhyanga is a part of the Ayurvedic treatment to relieve muscular pain and tension, make the skin healthy and glowing, regularize the breathing pattern, improve blood circulation, relax the nervous system, revive the mind and relieve stress and sleeping difficulties. These benefits are mentioned in Ayurvedic texts as Twachya , Balya and Keshya.

Ritual is a way of imbuing meaning into each moment of your life. It’s a way of elevating those everyday, mundane moments into the sacred and meaningful. The Ayurvedic ritual of daily self-care, known as Dinacharya, is a way to infuse intention into seemingly ordinary acts. A staple act in a daily dinacharya practice is Abhyanga, self oil massage. It’s interesting that the Sanskrit word Sneha can be translated both as “oil” and “love.” Perhaps two very different words, but the idea is that daily oil massage is a ritual of self-love. In the act of giving to ourselves in a nurturing way, we receive the benefits of warmth and stability, akin the experience of being loved.

Abhyanga is an art. It begins with the intention to move slowly, to breathe and to connect with ourselves in a supportive way. The end effect is soothing to the nervous system, reducing stress and preventing early aging. Ayurveda teaches that there are seven dhatus, or layers of tissue in the body. Each is successively more concentrated and life giving. By slowing down in this daily process, we support the deepest layers of our tissues from the outside in. The oil nourishes the skin, moves into the muscles and joints, and provides lubrication to the deeper tissues of the body. Other benefits include:

Ayurveda abhyanga body therapy is NOT only a muscle work. It also works at a CELLULAR level. Warm oils deeply penetrate cells and release physical, mental and spiritual toxins, hence it is detoxifying as well as healing CELLULAR therapy. Hence the stress is removed from the root place thus it promotes self healing of cells.

Ayurveda teaches that there are seven dhatus, or layers of tissue in the body. Each is successively more concentrated and life-giving. It is taught that for the effects of sneha to reach to the deepest layer, it should be massaged into the body for 800 matras, roughly five minutes. If we consider that the entire body needs this kind of attention, a 15-20 minute treatment is the suggested minimum amount of time.
