Abhyang is a full-body therapeutic oil massage. Warm medicated oils are applied by trained therapists to nourish tissues, lubricate joints, increase flexibility of muscles and improve circulation. Swedan means sudation therapy. It involves inducing sweat by herbal fomentation to open body channels, further liquefy toxins, and help them move out. It is generally done after Abhyanga.
