Abhyanga is a massage that’s done with warm oil. The oil is applied on the entire body, from the scalp to the soles of your feet
Abhyanga is the practice of Ayurvedic Massage. It’s also called “snehana” which means “to nurture or love”. This is because the act of massaging oil into the body is an act of love. Oil is deeply nourishing and soothes not only the skin but also the nervous system and provides support to the immune system.
The goal of Ayurvedic Massage is the absorption of oil. Different oils are used to balance each of the three doshas.
