Traditional Ayurvedic oil massage in Szentendre and Budapest District II, based on Indian Ayurvedic principles.
Abhyanga is one of the fundamental treatments in Ayurveda: a rhythmic full-body massage with warm herbal oil, designed to relax the body, calm the nervous system, and support physical and mental balance. At Surya Ayurveda, abhyanga is not a quick, generic wellness massage—we take into account your current condition, body type, and specific concerns.
Opt for the Abhyanga massage if you are:
Appointments are available in Szentendre and Budapest District II.
We use warm, generous amounts of Ayurvedic herbal oil for the treatment. Oil plays a central role in the Ayurvedic approach: it nourishes the skin, softens tissues, and promotes bodily relaxation.
Abhyanga is not a quick treatment of specific problem areas. The therapy progresses from head to toe, following a traditional sequence to ensure the entire body receives attention.
The movements are rhythmic, flowing, and long-arched. The goal is not intense muscle work, as in sports massage, but rather to calm the nervous system and nourish the tissues.
Abhyanga can be particularly beneficial when the body is tense, the mind struggles to switch off, or stress manifests in physical symptoms.
It is a complete treatment on its own and may also be included in a personalised Ayurvedic treatment plan or Panchakarma programme, when recommended after an Ayurvedic assessment.
Abhyanga is especially recommended if you are not merely seeking a brief relaxing massage, but rather a deeper, Ayurvedic-oriented treatment for physical and mental rejuvenation.
A weekend break typically won’t solve this.
However, Abhyanga works on a deeper level — even the first session makes a difference, and a series of 3–5 sessions can support a lasting positive change.
On the right, you will find the changes most frequently reported by our guests. Individual experiences always depend on your current condition, the depth of the treatment or course, and lifestyle factors important in the Ayurvedic approach. If you are seeking a particularly results-oriented, personalized therapeutic direction, it is advisable to begin with an Ayurvedic consultation so that we can tailor the treatments to your current state.
When fatigue, tension, and inner restlessness no longer fade away with a weekend rest, it’s worth providing deeper support to the body and nervous system.
The Abhyanga treatment, with warm herbal oil, a slow rhythm, and Ayurvedic treatment logic, helps to calm the mind and body. A difference can be felt even after the first session, and a series of 3–5 sessions often supports lasting relaxation and deeper regeneration for many.
Full-body oil-based Ayurvedic treatment, if you're looking for a relaxing, rejuvenating session.
We recommend this for your first session. A fuller, slower-paced treatment time in which the depth and tranquility of Abhyanga truly unfolds.
A longer, more profound Abhyanga massage for exhaustion, persistent tension, or therapeutic application.
If you are looking not for a casual massage, but for an outcome-oriented, personalized therapeutic process, then the first step is an Ayurvedic consultation with our Ayurvedic expert, Ajay Singh.
The brief consultation before the Abhyanga treatment does not replace this. The short consultation with our therapist before the treatment solely helps to safely and comfortably customize the specific treatment.
If you are coming for relaxation, rejuvenation, or a complete oil-based Ayurvedic body treatment, select an Abhyanga duration and book online. For first-time visits, we generally recommend the 90-minute treatment, as it allows the rhythm of Abhyanga to unfold more fully.
However, if you are seeking help for persistent stress, sleep difficulties, exhaustion, or more complex physical or emotional concerns, it is advisable to begin with an Ayurvedic assessment. In this case, our specialist will recommend the appropriate treatment approach, therapy course, or lifestyle support based on your current condition.
Thank you for our guests’ trust!

Indian Ayurvedic professional background ·
BAMS degree · Szentendre and Budapest II.
Surya Ayurveda’s treatments are based on Indian Ayurvedic tradition, the use of warm herbal oils, and the attentive work of experienced therapists.
Ajay Singh holds a BAMS degree from India and leads Surya Ayurveda’s professional work in Hungary as an Ayurvedic expert. The focus is not only on relaxation, but also on adapting the treatment to the guest’s current physical and mental state.
Our therapists are experts in traditional Ayurvedic treatments. The precise sequence, generous oil application, calm rhythm, and quiet treatment environment together create the Surya experience that our guests often highlight.
Abhyanga is one of the most well-known oil treatments in the Ayurvedic tradition. The Sanskrit term refers to the application of oil to the body. In classical Ayurvedic practice, oil is not a supplementary extra, but one of the most important elements of the treatment.
According to Ayurveda, warm oil, rhythmic touch, and mindful sequencing together support the balance of vata, nourish the skin and tissues, and calm the nervous system. Therefore, abhyanga is often applied in stressed, exhausted, dry, cold, or stiff conditions.
The purpose of the treatment is not to forcefully “knead” the muscles, but to gradually relax, warm, and restore the body to a calmer state of functioning. For this reason, the abhyanga experience is different for many guests from what they would expect from a classic Swedish massage or sports massage.
The treatment begins at the head area and progresses part by part through the arms, torso, back and lower back region, legs, all the way to the soles of the feet. The rhythm is slow and flowing: the goal is not to work through the muscles, but to provide deeper nourishment to the tissues, calm the nervous system, and restore physical and mental balance.
If you are seeking occasional relaxation and rejuvenation, you can choose a duration and book online. If you are looking for therapeutic guidance due to persistent stress, sleep difficulties, exhaustion, or more complex issues, then begin with an Ayurvedic consultation.
Classic massage typically focuses on relaxing muscles, releasing adhesions, and reducing physical tension.
Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic oil treatment that involves the entire body. It also works on muscles and tense areas, but it is not exclusively a muscle-relaxing technique: the warm herbal oil, the traditional sequence, the calm rhythm, and the holistic approach together support physical release and the calming of the nervous system.
Therefore, Abhyanga is not simply an “oil massage,” but a structured Ayurvedic body treatment, which can be an excellent choice, especially if tension, exhaustion, dry skin, sleep difficulties, or overload are felt not just in one spot, but throughout the entire body.
Abhyanga is an oily full-body treatment, so you will need to undress to your underwear for the session. Your body will be discreetly draped throughout, and only the area the therapist is currently working on will be uncovered.
The treatment takes place in a calm, safe environment, and your comfort is paramount throughout. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, please inform your therapist immediately.
Abhyanga is not recommended, or only advised after prior consultation, in cases of acute fever, infectious diseases, fresh inflammation, recent surgery, severe malaise, or certain serious heart, liver, or kidney conditions.
During pregnancy, prior consultation is also necessary, as not all periods and treatment forms are recommended.
If you are unsure, please inform us before booking.
Many people feel calmer, more relaxed, and ‘slowed down’ immediately after the treatment, and often report deeper sleep that evening.
However, for persistent stress, sleep difficulties, exhaustion, or long-standing complaints, an occasional massage alone is often not enough. In such cases, a more comprehensive Ayurvedic therapeutic process is recommended, which begins with a consultation.
A single Abhyanga treatment is a complete, deeply relaxing Ayurvedic body treatment in itself. If you are coming for relaxation, rejuvenation, or regeneration, even one session can be a good choice.
For health maintenance, nervous system calming, and regular physical and mental well-being, Abhyanga can be incorporated into your lifestyle on a weekly basis. In the Ayurvedic perspective, warm oil body treatment is not an occasional luxury, but an important tool for nourishing the body, supporting Vata balance, and maintaining regeneration.
However, if persistent stress, sleep difficulties, exhaustion, digestive complaints, or a more complex condition is present, it is advisable to start with a consultation. In such cases, our expert will recommend, based on your current condition, whether a single treatment, regular Abhyanga, a series of treatments, or other Ayurvedic support would be the most appropriate direction.
The 60-minute Abhyanga is a popular, complete oil-based Ayurvedic body treatment if you are seeking calm regeneration.
For a first session, we generally recommend the 90-minute treatment, as it allows the rhythm of Abhyanga, the warm oil, and the slower treatment process to unfold more fully.
The 120-minute version is a longer, more profound treatment, which can be a good choice for exhaustion, persistent tension, or as part of a series of treatments.
Do not eat a heavy meal immediately before the treatment, and if possible, avoid rushing to your appointment.
After the treatment, it is advisable to drink warm water or tea (not coffee), rest, avoid cold, drafts, intense exercise, and haste. If comfortable, it is recommended to leave the oil on your skin for a few more hours to allow the after-effects of the treatment to continue.
Yes, it is generally safe to drive after Abhyanga. After the treatment, it is advisable to rest for a few minutes, drink a glass of water or tea, and comfortably return to your daily routine.
