Ayurveda massages
Abhyanga
Your body is massaged in several different positions with a lot of warm oil (up to a quarter of a litre). The quantity of oil is explained by the reasoning behind Ayurveda, by which the Abhyanga is primarily concerned with “purification and detoxification”. The oil is intended to draw metabolic waste out of the skin, for which you need a lot of oil. The classic Abhyanga has 7 positions, including lying positions and sitting.
The massage techniques mainly comprise long strokes that rub the oil into your skin, kneading and rubbing. After each massage a minimum half hour quiet phase is observed, possible additional perspiring and then a shower. Finally your body should be protected against draughts and strong sunlight.
