What is Abhyanga?

Abhyanga is an ancient Ayurvedic practice of warm oil massage performed on oneself, ideally daily or several times a week.

It nourishes the body, calms the nervous system, and promotes circulation and detoxification.

In Ayurveda, Oil = LOVE. So Abhyanga is truly the act of enveloping your body in love.

Benefits of Abhyanga?

  • Balances Doshas – especially Vata (dryness, anxiety, restlessness)
  • Improves circulation & lymphatic drainage
  • Rejuvenates skin and promotes glow
  • Lubricates joints and relieves stiffness
  • Calms the mind, soothes the nerves
  • Enhances sleep and mental clarity
  • Slows aging and supports overall vitality

How to Perform Abhyanga (Step-by-Step)

Step One: Warm the Oil
Use a small bowl and place it in hot water. Oil should be warm but not hot.

Step Two: Begin at the Crown
Apply oil to the scalp and massage with circular strokes. (You can skip this on busy days.)

Step Three: Face & Ears
Use upward strokes and massage gently around the ears and jaw.

Step Four: Neck & Shoulders
Long strokes downward on the neck, and circular motions on shoulders.

Step Five: Arms & Hands
Long strokes on the limbs, circular on joints.

Step Six: Chest & Abdomen
Clockwise circles on the belly; gentle strokes across the heart.

Step Seven: Legs & Feet
Long strokes on thighs and calves; circular on knees and ankles. Spend time on the feet – this grounds the entire nervous system.

Step Eight: Rest for 10–20 mins
Let the oil penetrate before bathing. Use warm water and mild soap if needed.
