What is Abhyanga in Ayurveda, and how does it promote overall well-being? - #12830
I recently came across Abhyanga in Ayurveda, which is described as a deeply nourishing self-care practice and massage therapy. I want to understand how it works and whether it can help with stress, circulation, and muscle relaxation. From what I understand, Abhyanga in Ayurveda involves applying warm medicated oils in a rhythmic manner to balance the doshas. But does it mainly help with external relaxation, or does it also have internal benefits such as detoxifying the body and improving digestion? Another thing I’m curious about is whether Abhyanga should be done daily, or if occasional sessions also provide lasting benefits. If anyone has incorporated Abhyanga in Ayurveda into their routine, please share your experience. Did it help with energy levels, skin health, or mental clarity?
