Authentic highly traditional Ayurveda explicitly mandates that you absolutely must not consume a massive heavy meal immediately prior to a deep full body Abhyanga massage or any intense steam therapy.

The deep continuous rhythmic physical pressure on your abdomen and the intense heat completely disrupt your active digestion causing severe discomfort and nausea. You should ideally eat a very light simple meal roughly two full hours before your appointment or simply arrive entirely on an empty stomach for the absolute best deeply relaxing experience.
