Ayurvedic massage (Abhyanga) is an ancient Indian healing therapy rooted in the 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic tradition. It uses warm herbal oils and specific techniques to balance the body’s constitution (doshas), promote detoxification, nourish tissues, and support overall wellness. The practice is considered essential for health maintenance in Ayurvedic medicine.
At Kimantra Spa, we use traditional warm herbal oils selected for therapeutic benefit. Common options include sesame oil (warming, grounding), coconut oil (cooling, nourishing), and specialty herb-infused blends. Oil selection may be customized based on seasonal factors and individual needs.
Kimantra Spa offers 60-minute and 90-minute Ayurvedic massage sessions. The 60-minute option provides full-body treatment of essential areas. The 90-minute session offers extended attention and the complete traditional protocol. We recommend 90 minutes for first-time guests.
Traditionally, the oils should remain on the skin for several hours after treatment to continue penetrating and nourishing tissues. We recommend waiting at least 2-4 hours before showering, or longer if possible. Some practitioners leave the oils on overnight for maximum benefit.
Wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting oily, as some oil may transfer. The treatment itself is received undressed (with appropriate draping) to allow thorough oil application. After treatment, wear loose clothing so oils can continue absorbing.
Ayurvedic massage is distinguished by its use of warm herbal oils, focus on constitutional balance (doshas), attention to marma (vital) points, and emphasis on nourishing rather than just relaxing the body. While other massages primarily address muscles, Ayurvedic massage works on multiple tissue levels and energy systems.
For addressing specific concerns, weekly sessions are recommended initially. For ongoing wellness maintenance, monthly sessions help maintain balance. More frequent massage is traditionally recommended during autumn and winter when vata (air element) increases.
Ayurvedic massage requires modification during pregnancy. We recommend our specialized Pregnancy Massage for expectant mothers, which uses safe techniques and appropriate positioning. Please inform our staff of pregnancy when booking.
