therapists. Oil massage has for thousands
of years played an important role in Ayurvedic

and nourishing the skin, your oils deeply transmit
their qualities
to both the physiological and psychological
levels. The oils’ unctuousness antidotes
today’s
stresses. Abhyanga is useful for all
ages and stress levels and serves to strengthen
the tissues and prevent
disease. Its purpose is to help loosen
and relocate “doshas” to
the G.I. tract for elimination. Learn
the basic method of Ayurvedic therapeutic
massage, oils and their properties,
assessment skills, dual and single
methods, indications,
contra-indications, abdominal organ
massage, marma points and much more.
