Abhyanga

Abhyanga is the most iconic massage in Ayurveda. It is performed using warm oils selected according to the individual’s constitution, known as doshas: Vata (air and ether), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water). These fundamental energies, unique to each person, govern the body and mind’s functions. An imbalance can lead to fatigue, stress, digestive issues, or muscular tension. Abhyanga aims to rebalance these doshas, stimulate the flow of energy (prana), and support the elimination of toxins (ama) through the lymphatic system. The flowing, rhythmic movements of this massage work deeply on the tissues while providing immediate mental relaxation. This massage helps to: - Nourish the skin and deep tissues (dhatus) - Improve sleep quality - Relieve nervous and muscular tension - Strengthen natural immunity - Promote a sense of calm and inner balance At BIOVEDA SXM, a wellness center in Saint-Martin dedicated to holistic approaches, Abhyanga is performed respecting Ayurvedic traditions, using natural oils chosen according to your dosha. Each session is personalized to offer a deeply revitalizing experience in harmony with your inner balance.
