How Effective Is Abhyanga in Ayurveda for Full-Body Relaxation and Detox? - #13158
I have been hearing a lot about Abhyanga, an Ayurvedic full-body oil massage that is said to help with stress relief, joint pain, detoxification, and improved circulation. Unlike regular massages, Ayurveda believes that Abhyanga nourishes the skin, balances the doshas, and removes toxins from the body. I want to understand how frequently Abhyanga should be done for long-term benefits. Also, which medicated oils are best for different conditions—like Sesame oil for Vata, Coconut oil for Pitta, and Mustard oil for Kapha? Does Abhyanga also help with skin conditions, mental clarity, and sleep improvement? If anyone has tried Abhyanga, please share your experience. Did you notice improvements in stress, joint flexibility, or skin health? Also, is it better to get an Abhyanga massage from a trained Ayurvedic therapist, or can it be done at home?
