Overview

What is Complete Head & Body Abhyanga?

The Complete Head & Body Abhyanga Ritual is an unhurried Ayurvedic ritual combining full-body Abhyanga with a beautifully relaxing head, neck and shoulder massage. Also known as Sarvanga Abhyanga with Shiro Abhyanga, this treatment offers a full-length Ayurvedic experience — warm herbal oils are massaged rhythmically across the body and gently worked through the scalp, focusing on the places where modern life tends to hold everyday tension.

At The Ayur Chikitsa in York, every ritual is personalised following an Ayurvedic consultation, with oils and techniques thoughtfully chosen to suit your constitution (Prakriti) and current wellbeing priorities. Ideal for anyone seeking to slow down, unwind and step away from busy days, this ninety-minute treatment offers warmth, rhythm and a profound sense of calm. A luxurious yet grounded Ayurvedic experience, this ritual is one of our most requested treatments in York.
