Benefits of Abhyanga Massage

Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage. Rooted in the ancient tradition of yogic health and healing, abhyanga is said to deeply nourish the entire body while decreasing the effects of aging. Warm herbalized oils and rhythmic strokes flood the body with the biochemistry of release and repair.
