Abhyanga/Uzhichil/Full Body Massage
Abhyanga is the procedure of application of Snehadravya/oil over the body with mild pressure. It is one of the most popular and ancient therapies of Ayurvedic treatment in Kerala which involves warm oil massage over the entire body.
The Thaila/Ghritha/Vasa etc. are rubbed over the body in directions comfortable to the patient. It improves strength and alleviates Vatha. It can be performed as a therapeutic procedure as well as a preventive procedure. The patient is made to sit on the Abhyanga table with legs extended. The oil heated to optimum temperature is applied over the head, ears, and soles of feet uniformly with mild pressure by therapists standing on both sides of the table. Abhyanga is performed in different positions and at the end of the procedure, the oil on the body is wiped off with tissue paper or towels. A bath can be taken with hot water and medicated powder or soap to remove the oil and to clean the body. A light semi-solid digestible diet may be advised after a bath.
This dates back to the ancient practice of massage to heal people suffering from body stiffness and body pain. In addition to that, Abhyanga massage also helps people to move without the burdens of joint pain. As a result of getting an Abhyanga treatment, the metabolic residues from the patient’s body will be removed effectively. Consequently, there will be increased blood circulation that will help reduce fatigue and stress-related disturbances in one’s body.
