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.
