Abhyangam
Abhyangam is the most popular massage in Ayurveda, which is a full-body massage done with warm Ayurveda oils made with several Indian herbs. This massage starts from the back, goes through the spinal areas, neck, shoulder, rib areas, lumbar and lower back areas, releases your stiff muscles and brings natural relaxation. Then the legs are massaged, thighs, calf muscles and the feet. Feet massage is always a special way to relax. Now it’s time to turn around and lay on the back! Massage starts from the limbs, legs and arms, and abdomen. Neck and shoulders are massaged again, from behind. In the sitting position, the trigger points of the neck and shoulder are massaged. As last but not the least, is the head massage, which starts as a scalp massage and ends as a tapping massage. This helps to improve the head blood circulation which results in relaxation.
