What Are the Side Effects of Abhyanga Massage? Is It Safe for Regular Use? - #13458
I’ve heard a lot about the benefits of Abhyanga massage in Ayurveda for stress relief, detoxification, and muscle relaxation, but I’m curious about the potential side effects of this therapy. Since Abhyanga involves using warm herbal oils to massage the body, I’m wondering if it could cause skin irritation, allergies, or other adverse effects for some people. I understand that Abhyanga massage is generally considered safe, but I’d like to know if there are any precautions I should take, especially if I have sensitive skin or underlying health conditions. Does Abhyanga have any long-term effects or is it just temporary relief for issues like stress and fatigue? If anyone has experienced Abhyanga massage, please share your experience. Did it help with stress, joint pain, or improving flexibility? Did you face any side effects, such as skin irritation or discomfort after the massage?
