How does abhyanga massage work?
An abhyanga massage requires thorough preparation by the masseur to allow the client to relax. The first step in a warm oil massage is to get to know the guest, after which oils enriched with herbs appropriate to his body type (dosha) are preheated.
The massage takes place in a warm room, and is designed to relax the body and open the pores of the skin to allow the therapeutic oil to be absorbed more easily.
The masseur then lubricates the client's body parts, massaging the oil into the skin with long, even strokes and circular rubbing. During the movements, special attention is paid to the energy channels (nadis) and marmapoints, which, according to Ayurvedic teachings, play a key role in the flow of life energy. In this way, energy blocks in the body can be released. Not only physical tension but also mental tension can be released.
During the massage, soft music and natural sounds accompany the massage, which helps you to relax further. After the 60-90 minute massage, the client is given a short rest to allow the heartbeat and circulation to return to normal after a long period of relaxation. Following the abhyanga massage, a hot shower or steam bath is recommended to further aid deeper absorption of the active ingredients.
Detoxifies the body
An oil massage helps to remove toxins from the body. The oil penetrates deep into the skin, where toxins can build up, and helps them to be eliminated through the lymphatic system.
Helps to relieve stress
The slow, smoothing movements calm the nervous system, reduce stress hormone levels and promote deep relaxation. The warm oil helps muscles relax and also releases physical and mental blocks.
Rejuvenates the skin
The oils used during a warm oil massage nourish and moisturise the skin, promoting elasticity and a healthy glow. Antioxidant-rich herbs help slow down the skin's ageing process.
Improves circulation
Massage stimulates blood circulation. This improves the oxygen and nutrient supply to the cells and supports tissue regeneration.
Restores the energy balance
According to Ayurveda, abhyanga massage helps to balance the doshas and eliminate energy blocks, thereby harmonising the energies of the body and mind.
Energy pathways and marble points
According to Ayurveda, there are nearly 70,000 energy channels running through the body that ensure the flow of life energy. Some of these are particularly important. At the intersections of these are the marma points, which are similar to the points known from acupuncture. During an abhyanga massage, the masseurs focus on restoring harmony to these points.
The Dossas balance
According to Ayurveda, each person's body has a unique proportion of doshas. An imbalance of these dosae leads to ill health and disease. Warm oil massage is particularly effective in restoring the balance of the doshas. What symptoms are responsible for the overabundance of a particular dosha?
Vata (air and ether): Overactive vata often causes stress, anxiety and insomnia. The warm oils and slow, grounding strokes calm the vata and help calm the mind.
Pitta (fire and water): Imbalances in the pitta can manifest themselves in inflammation, irritability and excessive heat. The cooling oils and gentle balancing strokes of the massage soothe the pitta.
Kapha (earth and water): The excessive presence of kapha can lead to laziness, fatigue and weight gain. Massage stimulates circulation and has an energizing effect, which counteracts the heaviness of kapha.
