A soothing, warm oil, full body Ayurvedic mirror-massage. Two technicians (women, if you are a woman) give you this specialised mirror-massage.
When you come to an Ayurvedic clinic, one of the first things likely to strike you is how calm and quiet it is.
Massages are performed in silence, usually by two panchakarma technicians working symmetrically and in total synchrony on either side of the body. The loving, silent attention of the technicians is a significant part of the treatment, allowing the client to sink into a blissful state of deep relaxation.
Abhyanga normally uses individually herbalised sesame oil. The oils are herbalised according to dosha and penetrate deeply into the different layers of the skin, stimulating the release of toxins from the cells and increasing circulation.
Regular Abhyanga promotes youthfulness, longevity, resistance to stress, enhancing deep sleep, energy, good health, joint and muscle flexibility, removing fatigue and revealing a softer, younger looking skin.
According to the ancient Vedic texts, the effects Abhyanga are: "It keeps one young and fights fatigue. It makes the skin healthy and increases density of muscles. It ensures sleep and blesses one with longevity.
Its first goal in Panchakarma is to penetrate through the skin and move impurities towards the intestinal tract.
Abhyanga prevents accumulation of physiological imbalances and removes them. It lubricates and promotes youthfulness and the free flow of energy and intelligence."
At the end of this treatment you are wrapped in warm sheets, blankets and a hot water bottle and left to rest for about 10 - 20 minutes.
