Abhyanga Massage

A relaxing therapeutic massage using herbalised massage oils suited to your dosha type. 

Abhyanga (Ayurvedic massage) is an important part of the Ayurvedic  detoxification process.  This Ayurvedic treatment conceives that over time, waste material starts to accumulate in different parts of the body.

This buildup of waste begins to create an imbalance of the doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) and reduces the ability of the related organs.

For example, fluid retention, lymphatic blockage and swelling of the groin are all symptoms of kapha imbalances.

Pain in any part of the body indicates that excess air has accumulated in those areas which is due to vata imbalance. 

When inflammation, rashes and itchy ulcers appear anywhere in the body, the pitta dosha is out of balance.

To rebalance the body and reduce waste accumulation in the organs, the practitioner will assess the patient’s dosha imbalance and choose which types of oil will be best suited to massage with.  Because Ayurvedic massage is tailored specifically to the individual, a single treatment may require various herbal oils to treat different parts of the body.

The style of massage - gentle, firm, deep tissue etc can be adjusted to suit the client's preference and also the type of imbalance being experienced.
