Ayurvedic massage, known as Abhyanga, is a core detoxification and rejuvenation therapy from the 5,000-year-old Indian system of natural medicine, Ayurveda. Unlike standard massages, its primary goal is not just muscle relaxation but to balance the body’s vital energies (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), loosen toxins (ama) stored in the tissues, and guide them toward the body’s natural elimination systems. Performed with large quantities of warm, herbalized oils chosen for your unique constitution, this synchronized treatment nourishes the skin, calms the nervous system, and promotes longevity.
Balancing the Doshas
The treatment begins with a dosha assessment. The choice of oil (e.g., sesame for Vata, coconut for Pitta, mustard for Kapha), the pressure, and the techniques are all tailored to pacify your dominant dosha and bring your body back into equilibrium.
Lymphatic Drainage and Detoxification
The long, flowing strokes towards the heart are designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, the body’s primary waste-removal pathway. This helps to flush out accumulated toxins (ama) from deep within the tissues.
Nourishing the Entire Body
The warm oil is absorbed through the skin, providing deep nourishment to all seven layers of tissue (dhatus), from the skin down to the bone marrow. This strengthens the entire body and lubricates the joints.
Calming the Mind and Spirit
The rhythmic, soothing strokes and the nurturing quality of the warm oil have a profoundly calming effect on the mind, reducing stress and anxiety by soothing the nervous system.
Our certified Ayurvedic practitioners will arrive at your home in Kathmandu with a portable massage table, a selection of warm, medicinal oils, and all the tools needed for an authentic experience.
Step 1: Dosha Consultation (10-15 mins)
We begin with a brief assessment to understand your unique mind-body constitution (Prakriti) and any current imbalances (Vikriti). This determines the best herbal oil and technique for your session.
Step 2: Preparation with Warm Oil
The selected herbal oil is warmed to a comfortable temperature. The application of oil is itself a therapeutic step, preparing the body for deeper work.
Step 3: The Abhyanga Treatment (60 mins)
The therapist performs a synchronized, full-body massage using long, sweeping strokes over the limbs and circular strokes over the joints. The process is methodical and covers the entire body, including the head and scalp.
Step 4: Marma Point Stimulation (Integrated)
Throughout the massage, the therapist may apply gentle pressure to vital energy points (Marma points), similar to acupressure, to release blocked energy and promote healing.
Step 5: Guided Relaxation (15 mins)
You will be left to rest for 15-20 minutes, allowing the medicinal oils to penetrate deeply into the tissues. This is a crucial part of the detoxification process.
Step 6: Closing & Aftercare Advice
We provide a glass of warm water and specific advice on diet and routine (dinacharya) to support the detox process and extend the benefits of your treatment.
