The Science of Life...

Abhyangam

The essence of this massage is encapsulated in the word “abhyangam”, literally, “the application of oil to all parts of the body”. Oil is the secret of this technique: it is a vehicle of energy through massage and a source of nourishment and healing. Abhyangam fights off the effects of ageing; it reduces fatigue, prevents and corrects imbalances of the nervous system, improves sleep, helps keep the skin healthy and boosts energy and vitality.
