what is abhyanga massage - #24127
I am really curious about this whole abhyanga massage thing. I read about it when I was looking for ways to help with my awful anxiety that doesn't seem to budge, and a friend mentioned how it calms her down. A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling super tense and decided to give it a try, but I don't get what exactly is abhyanga massage supposed to be? Like, I followed a YouTube video, but if I’m honest, I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. I used sesame oil like they said, but afterwards, my skin was still kinda dry — is supposed to feel different? Is what is abhyanga massage really about? I thought it was more about relaxation, but some friends say it’s also for detoxing or something? Confused, really. Some days I feel like I might need this every week, but can too much of it be overdoing it? Do I need to see a specialist? Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
