is ayurveda effective - #24071
I am really confused about my health right now. For the past few months, I've been dealing with this constant fatigue and occasional digestive issues. I tried a bunch of different diets, but nothing seems to work. A friend mentioned I should look into Ayurveda, but I don’t know if it really is ayurveda effective? Like, can it help with my symptoms? I mean, I’ve read a bit and it sounds interesting with all those different herbs and lifestyle tips, but I’m skeptical. I went to the doctor last week and they ran a bunch of tests, everything came back normal, which is the frustrating part. I feel like I'm stuck in this cycle with no answers, ya know? I want to be proactive and maybe try something natural but is ayurveda effective for someone with my kind of symptoms? I guess I'm just hoping someone here has had a similar experience. Any personal stories or advice would really help! I'm just feeling really lost and maybe a bit desperate.

How to Perform Self-Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Self-Massage) for Relaxation and Detox? - #14207
I have read about the benefits of Abhyanga (Ayurvedic oil massage) for detoxification, relaxation, and overall health, and I want to incorporate self-Abhyanga into my daily routine. However, I am unsure about the best techniques, oils to use, and the right way to perform it for maximum benefits. From what I understand, self-Abhyanga involves applying warm herbal oil to the body in a specific manner to enhance circulation, release toxins, and nourish the skin and muscles. Some commonly recommended oils include Sesame Oil for Vata dosha, Coconut Oil for Pitta dosha, and Mustard Oil for Kapha dosha. However, I want to know if the oil should be applied before or after a shower, how long it should stay on the skin, and whether it is safe to do daily. For those who practice self-Abhyanga, how has it benefited you? Did it help with stress relief, skin health, or joint flexibility? Would love a step-by-step guide on how to perform self-Abhyanga properly and whether it should be done in the morning or before bed for better relaxation.
