What Are the Benefits of Abhyanga in Ayurveda, and How Often Should It Be Done? - #12956

Anonymously

I’ve been reading about Abhyanga Ayurveda, which is the practice of full-body self-massage using herbal oils. It is supposed to help with detoxification, improving circulation, reducing stress, and even balancing the doshas. I am really interested in incorporating this into my daily routine, but I have a lot of questions. Does Abhyanga Ayurveda need to be done daily, or is once a week enough? How do I choose the right oil for my body type? I have a Vata-Pitta constitution, and my skin tends to be dry, so should I use sesame oil or something else? Also, can Abhyanga help with muscle pain and joint stiffness, or is it mainly for relaxation? If anyone has been doing Abhyanga Ayurveda regularly, what benefits have you noticed? Did it improve your sleep, skin, or overall energy levels? How long did it take before you saw noticeable effects?

Abhyanga Ayurveda is most beneficial when done regularly, ideally daily, to support detoxification, improve circulation, and balance the doshas. However, if daily practice isn't possible, doing it once or twice a week can still offer benefits. Since you have a Vata-Pitta constitution with dry skin, sesame oil would be a good choice as it is grounding and nourishing, helping to hydrate the skin and balance both Vata and Pitta. Abhyanga can definitely help with muscle pain and joint stiffness, as the warm herbal oils penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting relaxation and reducing inflammation. Many people notice improved sleep, skin texture, and overall energy levels after consistent use, typically within a few weeks. The benefits may vary, but over time, you should feel a noticeable improvement in your vitality and well-being.
