Abhyanga warm-oil massage at Nusa Massage Spa in Lisbon

A ritual of balance

"To love what lies beneath the skin"

That's the literal meaning of Abhyanga. Using warmed oils and gentle, rhythmic, enveloping movements, this massage nourishes the skin, stimulates circulation, calms the nervous system, and promotes a deep balance between body and mind.

It's simultaneously energising and relaxing - a rare and extraordinary combination. And it arrived in Lisbon by ship: we tell the voyage on the blog.

Frequently asked questions

About Abhyanga

What is the Abhyanga massage?

Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic ritual of body anointing with warm oils infused with herbs. The movements are long, rhythmic and deeply nourishing - working both the physical body and the nervous system.

Is Abhyanga good for dry or sensitive skin?

Yes - it's one of the best options. Ayurvedic oils penetrate deeply, nourishing the skin from within. Skin is noticeably softer and more hydrated after the session.

What's the difference between Abhyanga and a relaxing oil massage?

Abhyanga uses warmed medicinal oils specific to each body type. The movements follow the body's energy channels with therapeutic intent - detoxification, nervous system balance and revitalisation.

Do I need to shower after the session?

We recommend waiting at least 30 minutes before showering, to allow the oils to keep being absorbed. The benefits last longer that way.

How many sessions are recommended?

One session a month is enough for maintenance. For specific imbalances, a weekly series of 4 sessions produces much deeper results.
