After the massage is over, the client is encouraged to shower to take a steamy bath to encourage absorption of the oil. These oils are mixed with medicinal herbs and used for different massages according to individual requirement.
According to the principles of ayurveda, everyone has a specific body type known as a dosha. There are three doshas: pitta, kapha, and vata, and everyone has a specific balance of doshas which must be addressed in ayurvedic therapy. Traditionally, abhyanga massage is performed in the morning, to clarify the mind and stimulate the client for the day. Sesame and coconut oils are commonly used, along with an assortment of herbs. The oil is allowed to soak in for several minutes before the massage therapist begins, using rhythmic, gentle strokes with the whole palm.
