At Al Raqi Physiotherapy Center in Dubai, our Abhyangam treatment brings you the benefits of traditional Ayurvedic full-body oil massage, tailored for today’s health needs. Warm, herbal oils are applied in rhythmic strokes—from scalp to soles—promoting deep relaxation, improved circulation, and holistic rejuvenation
What Is Abhyangam?
Abhyangam (also called Abhyanga or Ayurvedic oil massage) is a cornerstone of daily Ayurvedic self-care. It uses dosha-balanced, warm herbal oils to nourish tissues, stimulate marma points, and support detoxification. Our skilled therapists blend ancient wisdom with precise techniques to align your energy (prana), relieve tension, and revitalize both body and mind.
Key Benefits of Abhyangam Treatment
1. Reduces Stress & Lowers Blood Pressure
Studies show that a single session can significantly reduce stress levels and lower blood pressure
2. Boosts Circulation & Lymphatic Flow
The warm oil massage enhances blood flow, supports lymphatic drainage, and helps eliminate toxins.
3. Relieves Muscle Tension & Improves Flexibility
Abhyangam loosens tight muscles, releases knots, and enhances joint mobility—perfect for physical recovery
4. Nourishes Skin & Delays Aging
Herbal oils deeply hydrate, reduce fine lines and scars, and promote smoother, radiant skin
5. Enhances Sleep Quality
By calming the nervous system, Abhyangam supports better sleep and emotional balance.
