Mukhabhyanga is a specialized Ayurvedic facial massage that uses gentle strokes and specific herbal oils or creams. In Sanskrit, “Mukha” means face and “Abhyanga” means massage. This therapy focuses on the face, neck, and décolletage, stimulating vital energy points (Marmas) to improve skin health and promote deep relaxation.

Is Mukhabhyanga Therapy Safe?

Yes, Mukhabhyanga is a very safe and gentle therapy. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, as the oils are chosen specifically for your individual needs.

The frequency of the treatment depends on your specific health goals and the nature of your imbalance. Our practitioners typically suggest the following guidelines:

  • For Glowing Skin: Once a week or every two weeks.
  • For Stress Relief: As often as needed to feel relaxed and refreshed.
  • Special Occasions: A perfect treatment before a big event for an immediate “lift” and glow.

While this therapy is safe and natural, there are certain conditions where caution is required. Please keep the following precautions in mind before booking your session:

  • Acne Flare-ups: If you have active, cystic acne, we will adjust the technique and oils to be very gentle.
  • Allergies: Please inform us of any nut or seed allergies.
  • Post-Treatment: Avoid applying heavy makeup immediately after to allow the skin to breathe.

While you can massage your own face, a professional Mukhabhyanga at Yara Wellness utilizes precise knowledge of facial Marmas and professional-grade Ayurvedic oils that provide much more significant results in skin tone and relaxation.
