Abhyangam is a popular Ayurvedic treatment that involves a full body massage using warm herbal oils. It is one of the most common and fundamental therapies in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine. The word "abhyangam" is derived from the Sanskrit words "abhi" meaning "towards" and "angam" meaning "limbs." The treatment involves the application of oil to the entire body, including the head, face, and scalp, with various massage techniques. Abhyangam aims to balance the doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha) in the body, improve blood circulation, nourish the skin, and promote relaxation. It is believed to enhance physical and mental well-being. The choice of oils used in Abhyangam depends on an individual's body constitution and any specific health concerns. Typically, herbal oils infused with medicinal herbs are used. The selection of oils may vary based on the dosha imbalance or specific therapeutic goals. During the treatment, the therapist applies the warm oil generously to the body and uses long, rhythmic strokes, kneading, and circular motions to massage the muscles and tissues. Special attention is given to the joints, pressure points, and marma points (vital energy points).
