About the Abhyangam

What is Abhyangam? Abhyangam is the cornerstone daily practice of Ayurvedic body care — a full-body warm-oil massage performed by trained therapists using medicated oils selected specifically for your Prakriti and therapeutic needs. The treatment follows classical Kerala Ayurvedic technique, applying precise strokes and targeted pressure along the body's energy channels (srothas) to stimulate circulation, nourish the tissues, and release deeply held tension. Beyond its physical effects, Abhyangam is profoundly calming to the nervous system. Regular sessions reduce cortisol levels, improve sleep quality, and create a sustained sense of groundedness — making it one of the most effective tools in our stress management and preventive care programmes.
