How does Abhyanga treatment work, and what are its long-term health benefits? - #12828
I’ve been feeling physically drained, stressed, and stiff, and I recently came across Abhyanga treatment, which is said to be a powerful Ayurvedic full-body oil massage. But I want to understand how it works and whether it provides more than just relaxation. From what I’ve read, Abhyanga treatment involves applying warm herbal oils to the entire body, but does it mainly help with stress relief, or does it have deeper effects on circulation, detoxification, and joint health? Also, do the oils used in Abhyanga vary based on different body types (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)? Another thing I want to know is how often one should get Abhyanga treatment for maximum health benefits. Can it be done daily, or is it only necessary once in a while? If anyone has tried Abhyanga treatment, please share your experience. Did it help with better sleep, energy levels, or pain relief? Also, were there any aftercare tips recommended to enhance its effects?
