Linked to the ancient health practice of Ayurveda, Abhyanga Hot Oil Massage is a beautifully relaxing and blissfully comforting full-body warm oil treatment. The practitioner uses specially formulated warmed oils, perfectly matched to your constitution or Dosha, that penetrate deeply through the skin into the tissue and muscles. The combination eases tension from the mind and body, boosts the immune system and encourages the release of toxins from deep within the tissue and the GI tract so that it can be efficiently eliminated.
This form of massage is so much more than a pamper treatment as it supports positive health and wellness in a nourishing way.

What will I experience?
During the session, Liesl will take time to identify your Dosha and then, on a comfortable massage couch warm, herbal oils will be poured over your skin. With rhythmic circular strokes, the entire body is massaged from head to foot. This drives the oil through the layers of skin to dislodge toxins, stimulate circulation, balance the nervous system and promote deep relaxation.
