- The session takes place on the soft parts of the head, the front and shoulder areas, because it is in these easy "crumpling" parts of the body are concentrated important points responsible for the state of the internal organs.
- Most often, a session is performed in a special chair, since the shoulder area, head, face, temples and neck are most exposed to massaging. Massaging of the whole body is a completely different kind of relaxing procedure.

- Oil is poured in a small portion, right on the client’s head, and then gently and smoothly pounded throughout "work surface". After that, there are movements with the fingers, which slightly remind of washing the head.
- The master works with circular movements of the fingers on the entire surface of the scalp.
- Again a little butter is poured into the palm of the hand and it is distributed over the face and ears of the client. Massaging these zones is as smooth and gentle.
- Now there is a transition to the neck, the neck is massaged with the palms.

That's it, Indian oil massage is over. Going down through the body, you go from the Indian technique to the completely different one, but about this technique a bit later.

Abyanga massage (abhyanga massage) is one of the directions of Indian Ayurvedic massage and this procedure is used to relax the whole body and heal the human body as a whole.
This procedure is performed exceptionally warm, even barely heated oils. The master moves in this technique from head to foot, carefully working through every part of the body. The detailed scheme of the wizard’s actions will be described by us a little later.
Usually a massaging session does not last long; the process can take from 15 to 35 minutes. The effect that can be achieved by applying this kind of procedure:

Here is such an uncomplicated technique of execution, with which you can, in principle, cope on your own at home, by viewing the video instruction with the actions of the salon master abhyang massage. But as many forum reviews of such home procedures say: "It is better not to try to massage yourself or to torture with inept rubbing of someone, go girls and boys to the salon to the experts!"
Thai oil massage
Thai oil massage is a procedure that actively improves blood circulation, oxygenates all cells of the body, and, of course, relaxes well.
- The impact in this procedure is on such areas as: muscles, bones and tendons, massage the head, neck, face, back, legs, chest and hips.
- It’s not very easy to make such a procedure yourself, but all because the Thai oil technology is full of its difficult nuances. So if you want to experience the miraculousness of this session, go to a specialized salon where the masters with the right teaching and skill set quickly and right you will knead.
- With the classic Thai massage, this procedure is not similar, and there is no power manipulation here, only relaxing rubbing and stroking.
- Before you go to the salon for this relaxing procedure, select the part of the body that you want to stretch and relax. Why one site ?! Yes, all because this procedure gives the maximum effect, if you locally work through one zone and not disperse throughout the body.

A five-minute video cannot teach you what the masters have known for years! Go to the professionals and relax body and soul.
