Snehana
or Abhyanga means Oleation (oiling up). It is full body
massage which is recommended to
be done daily. The body is massaged with various Ayurvedic warm oils which
moves the toxins towards the gastro intestinal tract. It is
nourishing, pacifies the doshas, relieves fatigue, provides stamina,
pleasure and perfect sleep, enhances the complexion and the luster of the
skin, promotes longevity and nourishes all parts of the body.
Marma therapy is followed while doing Abhyanga. Marma are the vital points
of the body which contain Prana (life) energy. Oil is directly poured on
these Marma points. Gentle pressure is given on Marma while doing massage.
It provides Prana energy to the body and mind which leads to ultimate
healing. Abhyanga massage is very relaxing. It harmonizes, detoxifies,
strengthens and revitalizes the entire body apart from stimulating the
immune system. It also calms and strengthens the nervous system. Abhyanga is
the real rejuvenator.
