Abhyanga – The Ayurvedic oil massage therapy
The word Abhyanga is derived from Abhi+Anjana Abhyanjana. Abhi means towards, into etc. Anjana means to anoint [rub with an unctuous substance/ anoint the body with oil]. So, Abhyanga means massaging the entire body, including the head, with oil. Often medicated, warmed oil is massaged all over the body before bathing. Massaging in a specific direction has the following advantages:
Improves blood circulation
Removes toxins from tissues
Relieves physical and mental fatigue
Improves musculoskeletal system functioning
Removes stiffness of the body
Improves body shape, restore body tissues, reduce body weight & fat.
