Abhyanga Sydney – Ayurvedic Soft Tissue Oil Massage
Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic full-body oil massage that has been practised in India for thousands of years as part of daily self-care and wellness routines. At Ayur Healthcare, Parramatta, we offer authentic Abhyanga massage in Sydney, delivered by experienced Ayurvedic practitioners using time-honoured techniques and high-quality herbal oils.
This deeply soothing therapy is designed to support relaxation, ease muscular tension, and promote a balanced sense of wellbeing for both body and mind.
What Is Abhyanga?
Abhyanga is a Sanskrit term that refers to the systematic application of warm herbalised oils over the entire body. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe Abhyanga as an important daily practice (Dinacharya) for maintaining vitality, stability, and overall health.
At Ayur Healthcare, Abhyanga is performed using herbal oils prepared according to traditional Ayurvedic principles, selected to suit your individual constitution (prakriti), lifestyle, and seasonal needs.
How Abhyanga Massage Is Performed
An Abhyanga massage session in Sydney typically involves:
Long, flowing massage strokes
Gentle to moderate pressure techniques
Focused work on areas of stiffness or tension
Attention to traditional marma (vital) points
A calm, nurturing treatment environment
The warm oils are massaged into the skin using rhythmic movements that encourage relaxation and comfort while supporting circulation and mobility.
Traditional Ayurvedic Benefits of Abhyanga
From an Ayurvedic perspective, Abhyanga is traditionally used to help:
Encourage deep relaxation
Support healthy circulation
Reduce feelings of stiffness and muscular tightness
Nourish and soften the skin
Promote calmness of the nervous system
Support balance of the doshas, particularly Vata
Abhyanga is widely valued as a restorative wellness therapy, suitable for people seeking regular self-care, stress relief, or physical relaxation.
Abhyanga and Herbal Oils
The skin is considered an important organ of absorption in Ayurveda. During Abhyanga, warm medicated oils are absorbed into the skin, traditionally believed to help nourish tissues and support the body’s natural processes.
The choice of oil is carefully selected by your Ayurvedic practitioner and may vary depending on:
Your body constitution
Seasonal influences
Lifestyle and wellbeing goals
Enhancing the Experience: Steam Therapy (Swedana)
For many clients, Abhyanga is complemented with gentle steam therapy (Swedana) following the massage. This combination is traditionally used to:
Encourage further relaxation
Support muscle comfort
Enhance the overall soothing effect of the treatment
Your practitioner will advise whether this combination is suitable for you.
How Often Can Abhyanga Be Done?

A single relaxation session, or
