Hasta Abhyanga
Traditional Indian Hand Massage
Hasta Abhyanga, the traditional Āyurvedic hand massage, is a deeply therapeutic and relaxing practice that promotes pain relief, joint health, and emotional well-being. This ancient technique focuses on Marma point stimulation, enhancing the body’s natural healing response and restoring balance to the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems.
Regular practice of Hasta Abhyanga can help:
Relieve pain and inflammation caused by arthritis, rheumatism, and repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
Improve flexibility and mobility in the hands, wrists, and arms
Reduce muscle tension extending from the hands to the shoulders and neck
Calm the nervous system, making it beneficial during times of grief, stress, or emotional imbalance
Enhance circulation and energy flow through the Nadis (energy channels)
This massage is particularly effective for those who use their hands extensively, such as office workers, musicians, artists, and manual laborers. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or paired with Pada Abhyanga (Ayurvedic foot massage) for a full-body rejuvenation experience.
