Who Can Benefit from Abhyanga Massage?
Abhyangam, the traditional Ayurvedic body massage, is highly beneficial for overall wellness as well as individuals facing specific health concerns. The Ayurvedic Massage procedure uses warm, medicated oils to nourish tissues, improve circulation, and restore balance.
You may specially benefit if you experience:
- Vata-related disorders – Dryness, stiffness, joint pain, or poor circulation.
- Muscle fatigue and weakness – Relieves muscular tension and rejuvenates body tissues.
- Stress, anxiety, and insomnia – The calming effect of Abhyanga helps relax the nervous system and improve sleep.
- Poor circulation and toxin build-up – Supports the body’s natural detoxification and enhances vitality.
- Aging-related concerns – Improves skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and slows premature aging.
- Neurological and mobility concerns – Supports conditions like paralysis, Parkinson’s, or movement restrictions.
Abhyanga Massage Procedure – How It’s Done
At Yuvrit Ayurveda, we follow the authentic Kerala approach to ensure a complete healing experience with this traditional Ayurvedic body massage.
Preparation stage: Body is prepared for enhanced absorption and therapeutic effects by applying warm medicated oil based on an individual's dosha imbalance and health condition.
Main Procedure: The therapist applies warm herbal oil generously over the body using long, rhythmic strokes. The pressure, speed, and techniques vary based on the individual’s body type and condition. This lasts about 45 - 60 mins ensuring deep relaxation and nourishment.
Post-Therapy Care & Recovery: A short resting period is advised to allow the oils to deeply penetrate and nourish the body before gently wiping it off. A light, easily
digestible meal (such as warm herbal tea or porridge) is recommended post the session.

Who Should Avoid Abhyanga Massage? (Contraindications)
While Abhyangam is safe for most people, certain conditions require caution or expert guidance:
- High Kapha imbalance – Individuals with excessive heaviness, congestion, or sluggish metabolism should consult an Ayurvedic doctor before therapy.
- Acute inflammation or fever – Massage can worsen symptoms during infection or high body temperature.
- Severe indigestion or bloating – Best done on an empty stomach or after light digestion.
- Skin infections, wounds, or burns – Direct application of oils may irritate affected areas.
- During menstruation – Traditionally, Abhyanga is avoided during periods as it may disturb the natural downward flow (Apana Vata) and cause discomfort. It’s best to schedule the massage before or after your cycle
