What are the benefits of sarso oil for massage, and how is it used in Ayurveda? - #10302
I’ve heard that sarso oil (mustard oil) is commonly used for massages and offers several health benefits. I’d like to know more about how it works and why it’s considered effective in Ayurveda for physical and mental well-being. One of the benefits I’ve read about is that mustard oil improves blood circulation. Does massaging with sarso oil help reduce muscle pain or stiffness, and how often should it be done for noticeable relief? Another claim is that sarso oil has warming properties, making it ideal for use during winter. Is it effective for relieving cold symptoms or keeping the body warm in cold weather? I’m also curious about its impact on skin health. Does sarso oil for massage help with issues like dryness or improving skin elasticity, and are there any specific techniques to maximize its benefits? Lastly, are there any precautions to take when using mustard oil for massages? For example, could it cause skin irritation for people with sensitive skin, or should it be mixed with other oils before application? If anyone has used sarso oil for massages, I’d love to hear your experience. Did it help with relaxation or pain relief, and would you recommend it?
