Sarvanga Abhyanga at Utpala Ayurdhama
At Utpala Ayurdhama, we offer Sarvanga Abhyanga, a deeply nourishing and therapeutic Ayurvedic massage that focuses on healing the body, mind, and spirit. The word ‘Abhyanga’ comes from the Sanskrit terms “Abhi,” meaning towards, and “Anga,” which refers to movement. In Sarvanga Abhyanga, the entire body is massaged in the direction of the body’s natural blood flow, offering a range of healing benefits.
