Daily oil massage plays an important role in preventing complications from stress like hypertension, depression, headaches, and more. In India massage is a natural part of everyday life. Infants are massaged every day from the day of birth to three years, and every week thereafter. Six years of age, children are massaging their elders. It is common for entire families to massage one another once a week. Pregnant women are massaged daily during pregnancy and for more than a month after giving birth. Sensual massage with aphrodisiac oils is recommended in treatises on sexology.
In Ayurveda, bathing is a ritual designed to clean inside and out, and begins with the application of oil. Applying oil to your skin lubricates, protects, detoxifies and rejuvenates the skin and nervous system while soothing your endocrine system. The oil helps loosen and liquefy ama so it can drain toxins in the gastrointestinal tract of the body for disposal. It is an excellent antidote for modern tensions and is said to help you achieve the balance that is the foundation of spiritual development. As the largest organ largest and most sensitive of the body, your skin deserves Abhyanga every day.
In Ayurveda a massage or giving of oneself to oneself is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to balance vata and is a wonderful way to start the day. With regular practice you'll see why Abhyanga is considered the crown jewel of rejuvenation, prevention and longevity. Sesame oil is recommended for Vata, Pitta and Kapha types, and for healthy people and those suffering from illness. The only exception is when your Kapha is aggravated in this case you should use a dry rub, which is described below. Make sure you get cold-pressed organic oil of a health food store. Olive oil is also acceptable, and coconut works well for pitta types. Never use mineral oil or any other oil that is indigestible (the skin is a digestive organ). It is traditional to cook the oil one time, heat until tiny bubbles form. This is said to cure and prevent oil to become rancid. ¬ tions Certain conditions respond best to medicated oils to oils from herbs and spices have been added, as specified AZ section. Once you've been treating you Abhyanga regularly, it is difficult to stop, and the occupied people even manage to make time.
"If I am lazy or pressed for time and spend my daily Abhyanga really start to miss. I feel scattered, less land, less able to cope. I love the pool some serenity it creates in the morning. . . a quiet, sensual time just for me before I get carried away by the madness of the day. I think what a different world it would be if everyone had V, P, K, massage in the morning Dr.Helen Thomas Copyright © 2007. All rights reserved.
