What are the benefits of Abhyanga, and how does it improve overall health? - #12897

Anonymously

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?

Abhyanga, a full-body oil massage with warm herbal oils customized to your dosha, is a core Ayurvedic therapy that offers a wide range of benefits. The warm oils help improve circulation, promoting the flow of energy and nutrients throughout the body, while also calming the nervous system and reducing stress. This therapy supports detoxification by facilitating the removal of toxins (ama) through the skin, and it also nourishes the tissues, improving joint flexibility and muscle relaxation. Abhyanga can be particularly helpful for anxiety, sleep issues, and digestion by calming the mind, promoting relaxation, and stimulating the digestive fire (Agni). For optimal results, Abhyanga can be done daily or weekly, depending on your needs. Regular sessions can contribute to long-term stress relief, muscle relaxation, and overall well-being. Many people find that it significantly reduces tension, boosts energy, and improves sleep quality.
