Ayurvedic oil massage focuses on the whole body, head, feet, and palms. Warm oil is used to massage the “marma points” – nodal points or crossroads of energy flow in the body. The massage is not intense or deep, but gentle and relaxing. Abhyanga increases the production of white blood cells and antibodies, which provide protection against viruses and illnesses. It beneficially revitalizes the body, slows down the aging process, and restores vitality. It enhances muscle function, softens the skin, and has a positive effect on overall skin quality.
