Abhyangam
Abhyangam: Classical Ayurvedic Oil Massage Therapy
Abhyangam is a traditional Ayurvedic therapeutic oil massage that nourishes the body, improves circulation, and helps restore balance in the doshas. This classical therapy uses warm herbal oils applied with rhythmic strokes to relax muscles, improve joint mobility, and support overall health.
At Sattva Ayurveda in Mahadevapura, Bangalore, Abhyangam is performed by trained therapists using medicated oils selected according to the individual’s body constitution and health condition.

Abhyangam is a full-body Ayurvedic oil massage that is an important part of Panchakarma therapy. Warm herbal oils are gently massaged into the skin using synchronized movements.
