How does Abhyanga therapy work, and what are its key benefits? - #12808

Anonymously

Lately, I have been dealing with constant fatigue, poor sleep, and muscle stiffness. I heard that Abhyanga therapy is a powerful Ayurvedic treatment that helps with relaxation, circulation, and detoxification. I want to understand how it works and whether it can help with my stress and body tension. From what I read, Abhyanga therapy involves a full-body oil massage using warm herbal oils, but how exactly does it improve health? Does it only help with relaxation, or does it also benefit conditions like joint pain, digestion, and skin health? Also, do different oils provide different effects, and how do I know which oil is best for my body type? Another thing I’m curious about is how frequently Abhyanga therapy should be done. Is it something that should be done daily, or are occasional sessions enough for noticeable benefits? If anyone has tried Abhyanga therapy, please share your experience. Did it help with stress relief, pain management, or better sleep? Also, were there any post-massage recommendations to enhance its effects?

Abhyanga therapy is a deeply therapeutic Ayurvedic massage that uses warm, herbal oils tailored to your body type (dosha). It helps with relaxation, improves circulation, reduces muscle stiffness, and detoxifies the body. The oils used in Abhyanga are carefully selected based on your dosha and the specific imbalances you're facing. For instance, if you have a Vata imbalance (often leading to fatigue and stiffness), oils that are grounding and nourishing are used, while Pitta imbalances (associated with stress or inflammation) benefit from cooling oils. Regular sessions promote better sleep, improve skin health, enhance digestion, and ease joint pain. While daily Abhyanga is beneficial, occasional sessions can still provide noticeable relief. Post-massage, it is recommended to stay warm, drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins, and avoid strenuous activity to allow the body to fully absorb the benefits of the oil. Many people experience improved sleep, reduced stress, and overall well-being after consistent Abhyanga therapy.
