If you are looking for an Ayurvedic massage in Frankfurt, you’ll want to know: Which method suits my goal? How does a session work? What do Abhyanga, Shirobhyanga and Marma work do — and when are they not suitable? This guide summarises the most important points and links directly to booking, prices and further information.

1) Abhyanga – the Ayurvedic full-body oil massage

Abhyanga uses warm, type-appropriate oil and calm, rhythmic strokes. The aim is to soothe the nervous system, activate the parasympathetic nervous system and keep tissues supple.

• Typical aims: stress regulation, better sleep, winding down after intense phases.
• What many clients report: pleasantly warm depth, eased baseline tension, a clearer head.
• Duration: 60–90 minutes are popular — ideal for the first appointment.

2) Shirobhyanga – head massage for focus & lightness

Shirobhyanga focuses on the head, neck and shoulder girdle. Gentle techniques relieve areas that often “lock up” due to screen work and tension.

• Recommended for: mental overload, jaw tension, “too much in the head”.
• Reported effects: more calm in the head, softer facial features, more rested eyes.
• Duration: 30–60 minutes (also possible as a focused short session).

3) Marma work – impulses at energy points

Marma work applies targeted impulses to defined points to support flow and balance. It is integrated mindfully into the process and tailored to the session goal.

• Suitable for: patterns in neck/shoulder, “stuck” areas, supporting regeneration.
• Principle: less pressure is often more — it’s about targeted, calm work rather than “fighting the tissue”.

4) Process & preparation: how your Ayurvedic massage in Frankfurt works

1. Intake discussion: clarify goals, complaints, contraindications.
2. Oil selection: consider skin/type compatibility.
3. Treatment: calm, precise strokes; pressure is continuously adapted to you.
4. Post-rest & tea: integration — allow an additional 10–15 minutes.

5) Who it’s suitable for — and when it’s not

Ayurvedic massages are suitable for most people, especially with stress, inner restlessness, sleep or tension issues. Not suitable during acute fever/infection, fresh injuries, open wounds or where a doctor has advised against it. If in doubt, please seek medical clearance beforehand.
