Abyanga – Ayurvedic Oil MassageThe main purpose of Abyanga or oil massage as part of the Ayurvedic daily routine is to assist in preventing the accumulation of physiological toxins (AMA) and to lubricate and promote flexibility of the muscles, tissues and joints. Once applied to the skin, the oil passes quickly through the various layers of the skin and the underlying connective and fat tissues.
