What Are the Benefits of Indian Abhyanga Massage, and How Often Should It Be Done? - #13042
I have been experiencing a lot of muscle tension, fatigue, and stress lately, and I have heard that Indian Abhyanga massage is one of the best Ayurvedic therapies for full-body relaxation and detoxification. From what I understand, Abhyanga involves the use of warm herbal oils that nourish the skin and improve circulation, but I am not sure how often it should be done for maximum benefits. I have a few questions before trying Indian Abhyanga massage. Does it help only with relaxation, or can it also relieve conditions like chronic pain, poor circulation, or joint stiffness? Also, does the choice of herbal oil matter based on one’s dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha)? If anyone has experienced Indian Abhyanga massage, please share your experience. Did it help with stress relief, muscle recovery, or sleep improvement? How frequently should it be done to see long-term benefits? Also, can Abhyanga be done at home, or is it best to get it from an Ayurvedic therapist?
