What is Abhyanga?
A daily ritual recommended by Ayurveda to empower the body’s healing system by kindling the digestive fire and to promote overall wellness. Abhyanga, most simply understood as full body massage with oil suitable to the person’s Prakruthy or body constitution.
Ayurveda believes that growing up is a process of dehydration - as we age, not only do we need to keep our diet enriched with hydrating elements, we also need to practice daily oleation to maintain optimum levels of unctuousness in the body, support proper circulation and keep the lymph moving.
