What Ayurvedic Massage — Abhyanga & Shirodhara actually is
Abhyanga is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic daily practice: a full-body massage using generous quantities of warmed herbal oil, applied with long strokes along the limbs and circular strokes over the joints. The technique follows the direction of the body’s channels rather than Western muscle anatomy, and the rhythm is steady and unhurried throughout.
Shirodhara is a different proposition entirely — a continuous stream of warm oil poured across the forehead for an extended period. It is difficult to describe usefully until experienced. Most clients report a floating, meditative calm that continues well past the end of the session, and it is the therapy most often requested by people whose sleep or anxiety has not responded to anything else.
Both can be done at home, though Shirodhara needs a little more setup and works best in a room where oil on the floor is not a concern. Tell us which you want when booking, or describe the problem and we will suggest which of the two fits.

The session
What happens, step by step
Warming the oil
Herbal oil is heated to body temperature. Cold oil in Abhyanga defeats the purpose entirely.
Long strokes along the limbs
Applied with the direction of the limb rather than across it, in a steady unchanging rhythm.
Circular work over the joints
Shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles. The joints get proportionally more attention than in Western massage.
Chest, abdomen and back
Gentle, following the traditional sequence rather than working by muscle group.
Scalp, or Shirodhara if booked
Either a thorough oil scalp massage, or the continuous warm-oil stream across the forehead.
At your home
What the home visit involves
Everything is brought to you: a premium massage oil or nourishing body cream and a clean, professional massager, for you alone.
- You need: a comfortable, quiet spot and a power point for the massager.
- Nothing to arrange: the oil, cream and professional massager are all brought to you.
- Setup and pack-up are on the therapist’s time. A 60-minute session means 60 minutes of hands-on work.
- Comfortably covered. You stay covered throughout, and your privacy is respected at all times.
- Payment by cash or UPI at the end. Price is agreed before the visit.
Included with every session
Thoughtful add-ons for deeper relaxation
Small touches that come with your massage to ease you into deeper relaxation and help your natural happy hormones flow — always included, and never charged separately.
- Your choice of premium oil or cream. Avocado or Himalayan relaxation oil, or a nourishing body cream if you prefer less residue.
- A professional massager. Used gently alongside hands-on work to ease deeper tension.
- Extra time where you need it. A little longer on tight spots — back, shoulders or neck — whenever they need it.
- Pressure set to your comfort. Softer or firmer, adjusted at any point during the session.
- Quiet or conversation, as you like. The session moves at whatever pace feels most relaxing for you.

Questions
About Ayurvedic Massage — Abhyanga & Shirodhara
What is Abhyanga?
Abhyanga is the classical Ayurvedic full-body massage using generous amounts of warmed herbal oil, applied with long strokes along the limbs and circular strokes over the joints. It is traditionally practised as daily self-care in Ayurveda, and as a therapist-delivered treatment it typically runs 60 to 90 minutes.
What is Shirodhara and what is it used for?
Shirodhara is a continuous stream of warm herbal oil poured across the forehead for an extended period. It is traditionally used for anxiety, disturbed sleep and tension headaches. Most clients describe a deeply meditative state that continues after the session.
Is Ayurvedic massage messy at home?
Abhyanga uses considerably more oil than Western massage, and Shirodhara more still. Choose a spot where a little oil would not be a problem and lay down a spare bedsheet you do not mind marking; wear clothes afterwards that you do not mind marking.
Do I need to shower straight afterwards?
No, and traditionally you would not. The oil is meant to be absorbed. A warm shower a few hours later, or the following morning, gets more from the session.
Can I book Abhyanga and Shirodhara in one session?
Yes, and that is the traditional pairing — Abhyanga first, Shirodhara to finish. Allow 90 minutes and mention it when booking so enough time and oil are brought.
