  Abhyanga is the foundation of all Pancha Karma treatments,
          both purificatory and palliative. It is the massage of herbalized oil
          into the skin, our largest organ of absorption. It is considered to
          be rejuvenating because it nourishes the tissues, and balances the
          nervous and endocrine systems. When experienced on a routine basis abhyanga calms the mind and strengthens the immune system. The massage
          is followed by application of herbal paste to bathe away the excess
      oil without removing that oil which is nourishing to the tissues. |
