What is Abhyanga, and how does it help with overall health and well-being? - #12892
I have been feeling constantly tired, stressed, and experiencing body stiffness, and I recently came across Abhyanga, which is said to be an essential Ayurvedic full-body oil massage for rejuvenation and healing. But I want to understand what it is and how it works. From what I’ve read, Abhyanga is a therapeutic massage using warm herbal oils suited to one’s dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). But how does it actually improve blood circulation, joint flexibility, and mental clarity? Also, does it help with specific conditions like anxiety, poor digestion, and sleep issues? Another thing I want to know is how often Abhyanga should be done for maximum health benefits. Can it be done daily, or are weekly sessions enough? If anyone has tried Abhyanga massage, please share your experience. Did it help with relaxation, detoxification, or chronic pain relief?
