Ayurveda is practiced across India and abroad with the common aim of providing a holistic healthcare care system by suggesting ways to attain equilibrium between the body, mind and soul.
Panchakarma is practiced by many Ayurveda physicians and related treatment procedures form an integral part of the treatment program.
Abhyanga is one of the most integral components of Panchakarma. Abhyanga involves massaging the entire body with warm oils by applying specific strokes.
Oil is the central component of this practice. When combined with massage strokes, it’s thought to promote overall health and wellness. Most of the time the oils used are medicated with different medicinal herbs depending upon the body and disease condition.
