How does Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage work, and what are its health benefits? - #12873
I have been experiencing stress, fatigue, and muscle tension, and I recently read about Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage, which is said to be a deeply relaxing and healing therapy. I want to understand how it works and whether it provides benefits beyond just relaxation. From what I understand, Abhyanga is a full-body oil massage using warm herbal oils chosen based on one’s dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). But how does this therapy help in detoxification, circulation improvement, and joint mobility? Also, does it provide long-term relief for chronic pain, anxiety, or sleep issues? Another thing I’m curious about is whether Abhyanga massage should be done daily or if occasional sessions provide lasting benefits. If anyone has tried Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage, please share your experience. Did it help with energy levels, flexibility, or mental clarity?
