Self-Massage - also known as “Abhyanga” (moving energy into the body), the 3,000-year-old
practice of self-massage, has been extolled by ayurvedic texts for its
countless virtues. Massage works through the power of touch. When your fingers caress
your skin, lavishing it with lubricant, they communicate to your body
the one vital message it craves: that you care for it. The rubbing and stroking action dislodges accumulated toxins, which
then move out of the body through the digestive system. The result: all
the three doshas—vata, pitta, and kapha—gradually regain their balance. Massage stimulates circulation and improves the flow of blood,
nutrients, and oxygen throughout the body. This makes you feel
wonderfully energized. A regular oil massage is an excellent beauty treatment because it
replenishes the skin with moisture, so essential for that youthful
glow. The gentle action of massage relaxes the nerves, making you feel calm while simultaneously filling you with energy!
