Abhyanga + Basti

The Abhyanga + Basti treatment combines the benefits of traditional Ayurvedic massage with a targeted therapy using warm medicinal oil. The Abhyanga massage, performed with oils selected according to your constitution (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), harmonizes the body’s and mind’s energies. It stimulates the flow of prana and promotes deep relaxation. Basti, on the other hand, works on a specific area (lower back, back, knees, abdomen…). A small barrier made of flour paste retains the warm oil on the targeted area, allowing deep penetration and therapeutic action on the tissues. This treatment is particularly recommended for: - Relieving chronic pain (lower back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis) - Easing nervous and emotional tension - Supporting the digestive and circulatory systems - Reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting restful sleep - Strengthening grounding and vital energy The combination of Abhyanga + Basti provides both overall harmonization and localized restorative action. At BIOVEDA SXM in Saint-Martin, this treatment is performed following authentic Ayurvedic protocols, using medicinal oils adapted to your specific imbalance (Vikriti). The blend of touch, warmth, and natural oils offers profound relaxation and true regeneration of the nervous and muscular systems.
