How Effective Is Ayurveda Oil Massage for Relaxation and Pain Relief? - #14211

Anonymous

I have been looking for a natural way to relax, improve blood circulation, and relieve muscle pain, and I keep hearing about the benefits of Ayurveda oil massage. However, I am unsure how it differs from regular massages and whether it truly offers long-term therapeutic benefits. Ayurveda recommends Abhyanga, a self-massage therapy using warm herbal oils, which is said to nourish the skin, improve lymphatic drainage, and balance the doshas. Some of the most commonly used Ayurvedic massage oils include Sesame Oil for deep relaxation, Coconut Oil for cooling effects and skin hydration, Bala Thailam for muscle strengthening, and Dhanwantharam Oil for joint pain relief. However, I am unsure which oil would be best for my body type and whether the benefits of an Ayurvedic oil massage last beyond just relaxation. For those who have experienced Ayurveda oil massage, what was your experience like? Did it help with chronic pain, flexibility, and overall stress reduction? Should it be performed daily or only occasionally for best results? Would love recommendations on the best Ayurvedic oils for massage and whether they provide long-term muscle and joint benefits.

Doctors’ responses

Highly effective for relaxation and circulation, Abhyanga nourishes muscles and can reduce chronic pain. Long-term effects depend on regular practice and the right oil for your dosha (e.g., Sesame Oil for Vata, Dhanwantharam for joints). Frequency varies—daily is ideal, but weekly can also work.
