Introduction
In Ayurveda, self-care is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. One of the most effective and rejuvenating practices is Abhyanga, a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage known for its ability to revitalize the body, calm the mind, and promote longevity. By applying warm, herbal-infused oils, Abhyanga deeply nourishes the skin, enhances circulation, and helps restore balance to the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
What is Abhyanga?
Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic self-massage or professional oil therapy that penetrates deep into the skin to promote overall wellness. As a key component of Dinacharya (daily routine), it is highly recommended for delaying aging, detoxifying the body, and strengthening immunity.
Key Benefits of Abhyanga
✔️ Deep Skin Nourishment – Hydrates and enhances natural radiance.
✔️ Improved Circulation – Stimulates blood flow and aids in detoxification.
✔️ Stress Reduction – Calms the nervous system and promotes mental clarity.
✔️ Joint & Muscle Strengthening – Lubricates joints, enhances flexibility, and reduces stiffness.
✔️ Dosha Balance – Helps pacify Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, promoting overall harmony.
✔️ Better Sleep Quality – Induces relaxation and supports restful sleep.
✔️ Stronger Immunity – Boosts the body’s natural defense system.
