Abhyanga, or the practice of self oil massage, is an ancient Ayurvedic or purification and rejuvenation treatment of external snehana, or oleation therapy. Typically done in preparation for a more intensive set of purification procedures known as panchakarma, it’s also a foundational practice that we incorporate as a daily ritual in our routine for optimal health.
