What are the benefits of Abhyanga, and how does it improve overall health? - #12897
I have been feeling constantly fatigued, stressed, and experiencing joint stiffness, and I recently read about Abhyanga, a full-body oil massage that is an essential part of Ayurvedic therapy. But I want to understand how it actually works and what the key benefits of Abhyanga are. From what I’ve learned, Abhyanga uses warm herbal oils that are chosen based on an individual’s dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). But how does this therapy improve circulation, balance the nervous system, and detoxify the body? Also, does it have specific benefits for anxiety, sleep issues, and digestion? Another thing I want to know is whether Abhyanga should be done daily or if weekly or monthly sessions provide similar benefits. If anyone has incorporated Abhyanga into their routine, please share your experience. Did it help with stress relief, muscle relaxation, or overall well-being?
