What Are the Abhyanga Massage Steps, and How Can It Be Done at Home? - #13183
I have been learning about Abhyanga massage, an Ayurvedic full-body oil massage that helps with circulation, detoxification, and relaxation. I want to know the exact Abhyanga massage steps and whether it can be done at home or requires a trained therapist. From what I understand, the massage involves warm herbal oil application, but I want to know: How long should the massage last? Which oil is best for each dosha type (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)? Is it better to do Abhyanga before or after a bath? If anyone has experience with Abhyanga massage, please share your insights. Did you notice improvements in stress, pain relief, or better skin health? Also, how frequently should Abhyanga be done for long-term benefits?
