Traditional Ayurveda Abhyanga (Massage) encourage vitality, health and longevity. A daily self-massage with Ayurvedic oils can relive your mind and body from many kinds of sterns and toxic buildups.

Daily self-massage is a positive way of unlocking the body’s innate healing, ability, revitalizing the body and mind and empowering you to maintain your body’s optimum health.

The actual practice is largely based on prevention rather than cure. At the core of prevention is the everyday custom of personal healthcare- a type of regular health maintenance. Regular self-massage rejuvenates your entire physical structure and promotes mental relaxation. Ancient Indian Ayurvedic texts written 5000 years ago states that a person with a view to preserving and promoting positive health should use massage therapy every day.

ABHYANGA MASSAGE AND AYURVEDA

It is believed that in the Ayurveda system that each human being is composed of Doshas. Doshas need to remain balanced in a person. All imbalance will manifest a negative or undesirable condition, using ayurvedic oils in Abhyangam in a potent contributor to maintaining harmony and balance.

BEST TIME FOR DAILY MASSAGE

 Ayurvedic massage is traditionally performed in the morning before you bath or shower, to facilitates the release toxins that may have accumulated during the previous night. However, at the end of the day, a mini massage before you shower and simply massage the soles of your feet with Ksheerabala oil will certainly help those with insomnia and promote rest full sleep. So, make sure that you participate with this type of Ayurvedic healing as often you can, so you can enjoy all the benefits every day.
