Quick Answer

Where can I get an Ayurvedic massage in Amritsar?

Dr Abrol Ayurveda on Batala Road, Amritsar offers traditional Ayurvedic massage therapies such as Abhyangam, Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi, Udvartana and Patra Pinda Sweda. Each therapy is chosen by Dr. Amita Abrol after a short consultation, using medicated oils or herbal powders suited to your body type and health.

An Ayurvedic massage is not the same as a spa massage. The oil is chosen for your body type and your problem - a stiff back, poor sleep, heavy legs, dry skin - and the strokes, pressure and timing follow classical Kerala Panchakarma methods.

At our clinic, every massage starts with a short consultation. Dr. Amita Abrol checks what you need and whether any therapy should be avoided - for example during fever, an acute infection or pregnancy. Then a trained therapist carries out the treatment in a private treatment room.

People come to us for very different reasons: back and joint pain, stress and poor sleep, weight and sluggish metabolism, or simply a proper reset after months of desk work. Some come for a single session; others book a course of 7 sessions, which is what we recommend for most therapies.

Why Choose an Ayurvedic Massage at Dr. Abrol

Doctor-Chosen, Not Menu-Chosen

Dr. Abrol recommends the therapy and oil after a short consultation, so you get what your body actually needs.

Medicated Oils and Herbs

Classical medicated oils, herbal powders and potlis - not scented spa oils.

Traditional Kerala Methods

Abhyangam, Pizhichil and Njavarakizhi follow the classical Kerala Panchakarma tradition.

Private Treatment Rooms

Clean, private rooms at our Batala Road clinic, with steam (Swedanam) available after oil therapies.

Part of Real Treatment

Massage can stand alone for relaxation, or be one part of a Panchakarma programme for pain, stress or detox.

Specialised Care

Treatment Areas

Back, Neck and Joint Pain

Abhyangam with Kati Basti, Greeva Basti, Janu Basti or Patra Pinda Sweda - warm oil and herbal heat for stiff, painful areas.

Stress and Poor Sleep

Abhyangam, Shirodhara and head massage to calm the nervous system - the therapies most people book when they cannot switch off.

Weight and Sluggishness

Udvartana - a firm, upward massage with dry herbal powders - is used for heaviness, water retention and a slow metabolism.

Weak, Tired Muscles

Njavarakizhi and Pizhichil nourish the muscles and are traditionally used during recovery and for general weakness.

Common Questions

Ayurvedic Massage in Amritsar - Frequently Asked Questions

An Ayurvedic massage uses medicated oils chosen for your body type and problem, follows classical methods, and is recommended by a doctor. A spa massage is mainly for relaxation with scented oils. At our clinic, Dr. Abrol chooses the therapy after a short consultation.

For back pain, Abhyangam combined with Kati Basti or Patra Pinda Sweda is commonly used. Dr. Abrol checks the cause of the pain first - for example a disc problem or sciatica - before recommending one.

It depends on the therapy: Abhyangam is about 60 minutes, Pizhichil about 75 minutes, Patra Pinda Sweda and Kati Basti about 45 minutes, and Njavarakizhi about 20 minutes. For most therapies a course of 7 sessions is recommended.

Yes. Abhyangam, Pizhichil and Njavarakizhi are traditional Kerala Panchakarma therapies, and all three are available at Dr Abrol Ayurveda on Batala Road, Amritsar.

Only specific, gentle therapies are suitable during pregnancy, and only after Dr. Abrol has checked. Please tell us you are pregnant when you book.

Rest for a while, keep warm, avoid cold drinks and cold air, eat a light warm meal, and wash the oil off with lukewarm water.
