Shila Abhyangam

Shila Abhyangam, (hot stone massage) - an ancient Ayurvedic technique uses herbal Ayurvedic oils and basalt stones heated in water to give a slow, deep tissue massage. This massage is traditionally given to stimulate the circulatory system, soften and relax the muscles, release toxins, relieve pains and muscle spasms, and induce a state of deep relaxation. The warmth of the hot stones in Shila Abhyanga helps still the over-active mind and the Vata element, inducing a tranquil, quiet state. As the Abhyanga therapist works with the earth energy in the body through the placement of heated stones, especially on areas that gather tension, such as back, neck, and shoulders, the client feels more grounded and experiences a sedating and healing effect on the nervous system along with a rejuvenating and cleansing effect.
