Abhyanga, Therapeutic oil massage, is a key component of LAAVYA Ayurvedic therapy designed to promote health and well-being. This practice involves the application of warm, medicated oils tailored to an individual’s Prakriti (constitution) and prevailing Dosha imbalance. It enhances blood circulation, nourishes the skin, and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes by stimulating the lymphatic system.

Scientifically, Abhyanga has been found to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing relaxation and reducing stress. Regular practice improves cutaneous microcirculation, enhances skin elasticity, and provides anti-inflammatory benefits. The massage’s rhythmic, synchronized strokes are thought to influence the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, promoting mental calmness.

Abhyanga also strengthens musculoskeletal health, lubricates joints, and alleviates muscular stiffness. It aids in regulating circadian rhythms, supporting better sleep quality. By harmonizing body, mind, and spirit, Abhyanga is an effective preventive and curative tool within Ayurvedic medicine, offering both physical rejuvenation and mental equilibrium.
