Abhyangam

Abhyangam – The Ayurvedic Full Body Oil Therapy

At Atharva Ayurveda Clinic, Dubai, Abhyangam is more than a massage—it is a deeply rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy designed to restore balance, nourish the body, and calm the mind. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, Abhyangam uses warm, medicated herbal oils applied in rhythmic strokes to promote overall health, vitality, and longevity.

This traditional therapy has been practiced for thousands of years as part of daily self-care and therapeutic healing. In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, Abhyangam offers a powerful way to reconnect with your body, release accumulated stress, and support holistic well-being.

What Is Abhyangam?

Abhyangam is a synchronized full-body oil massage performed using warm herbal oils selected according to an individual’s Dosha—Vata, Pitta, or Kapha. The oils penetrate deeply into the tissues, nourishing the skin, muscles, joints, and nervous system.

At Atharva Ayurveda Clinic, Abhyangam is performed by trained Ayurvedic therapists following classical techniques. The therapy works on both physical and subtle energy levels, helping to detoxify the body, improve circulation, and balance the Doshas.
