  ABHYANGA & UZHICHIL
 
The concept of Classical Ayurvedic Oil massage is entirely different from that of commercial massages, as it balances the tri-doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) and releases the stored up stress from the mind and body, working through deeper levels of your being.

In Abhyanga, special medicated ayurvedic oils are slowly warmed up and applied on whole body with gentle massage. This massage is deeply relaxing. It harmonizes, detoxifies, strengthens and revitalizes the entire body. Abhyanga is a very effective treatment for disorders of joints, muscles, nervous system. It is advised for rejuvenation and relaxation.
