Abhyanga, an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves self-massage with warm oil for its holistic benefits for the body and mind. Abhyanga is deeply rooted in Ayurvedic principles, which emphasize the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. It is believed to balance the doshas (vata, pitta, kapha), enhance circulation of vital energy (prana), and promote overall wellbeing.

Ayurveda views the skin as a reflection of one's inner health, making Abhyanga an essential practice for maintaining skin health and inner balance.

HOW TO INCORPORATE ABHYANGA INTO DAILY DINCHARYA:

  2. Warming the oil: Warm the oil gently by placing the container in a bowl. Ensure it's not too hot to avoid burns.

  3. Preparation: Find a quiet, warm space where you can comfortably sit / lie down. Have a towel or old clothes handy to protect your surroundings.

  4. Technique: Begin by massaging the scalp and hair with circular motions, then move to the face, ears, and neck. Massage the limbs with long, gentle strokes, and the joints with circular motions. Finally, massage the abdomen and chest in clockwise circular motions.

 

DOS AND DON'TS:

  1. Massage gently. Use light to moderate pressure to avoid causing discomfort.

  2. Take your time. Allow yourself at least 10-15 minutes for a thorough session.

  3. Don't rush. Abhyanga is a nurturing practice that requires patience and mindfulness.
