Hot Oil Massage
A hot oil massage or Abhyanga treatment, a form of Ayurvedic massage involving specially formulated warmed herbal oils, is said to be the ultimate way to restore balance and completely relax the body. Nourishing and revitalising, Abhyanga hot oil massage helps pacify the three doshas or ‘bioenergies’ within the body. This in turn encourages the release of toxins from deep within the tissue and the GI tract so that it can be efficiently eliminated.
After being greeted by your therapist, your 60 minute Abhyanga treatment will commence in our beautifully warmed treatment room with a soothing foot soak while an Ayurvedic consultant begins massaging the head, shoulders and neck. With the soothing sounds of Gandharva (a soothing traditional style of Indian music) playing, your therapist will massage warm herbal oils into your body, gently working into tense or inflamed muscles to relax and restore. The treatment is concluded in the specially designed meditation space where guests can sip freshly brewed tea and rest quietly as their body and mind recalibrates after their treatment.
This form of massage helps promote the elimination of toxins while enhancing circulation and blood flow. Other benefits include:
- Improved muscle tone
- Triggering of the creative mind
- Relaxes body and mind
- Prevention of circulation imbalance
- Promotes youthfulness and vitality
- Rejuvenates the skin
- Increases stamina
- Promotes deep and restful sleep
Treatment time = 60 min + 30 min sound therapy = $150

What our clients have to say:
‘ I was booked in for a full body massage (Abhyanga) at The Ayurvedic Wellness Centre. The atmosphere at the centre is absolutely beautiful and harmonious. The owner, doctors, and staff are very kind and attentive. The facilities were excellent – very well manufactured equipment for all treatments. My therapist made me feel very comfortable, and my experience of the treatments was deeply relaxing. Ayurvedic massage is unlike remedial massage, the strokes are lighter, but it’s wonderful for the skin and lymphatic system.’
‘ I was exhausted, completely run-down, felt sluggish, irritable, bloated. I couldn’t sleep as my mind and body were always racing and churning. After listening to my symptoms over the phone I was advised to have the Abhyanga therapy – a full body massage using hot oil. My therapist was wonderful, gentle and quiet yet firm and confident. I felt absolutely relaxed and at peace afterwards as I sat in the meditation room sipping delicious herbal tea. But it was the following day that I really noticed a difference. I sprang out of bed with a clear head, feeling energetic and alive. I was positive, happy, buoyant and energised for the entire day.’
