Abhyangam (Full Body Oil Massage)
Massage of head and full body with medicated oil to improve blood circulation and strengthen muscles and joints. Designed for guests above 70. A 15-minute consultation is mandatory before this therapy.
A traditional full-body Ayurvedic massage with warm herb-infused oils applied from head to toe using rhythmic, synchronised strokes. The deep friction helps the medicated oil nourish the body, flush toxins and balance the energies, making it a gentle preventative and rejuvenation therapy especially suited to seniors.
You can expect deep physical relaxation, reduced muscle stiffness and better circulation, along with a powerful moisturising effect that leaves the skin smoother, brighter and more hydrated. As with all our old-age treatments, a 15-minute consultation is required first to ensure the therapy is right for you.
