The Wonderful Benefits of Ayurvedic Massage
Ayurvedic massage, or Abhyanga, is an ancient healing practice that originated from Ayurveda, India's traditional system of total well-being. Ayurvedic massage is a therapeutic ceremony that balances the mind, body, and spirit whilst deeply nourishing the skin and muscles. It can be made an even better self-care practice with the use of some herbal oils to further enhance relaxation, circulation, and natural rejuvenation of the body.
Key Benefits
Deeply Nourishes and Rejuvenates the Skin
One of the key benefits of Ayurvedic massage is the use of warm herbal oils that deeply penetrate the skin, delivering essential nutrients and intense hydration for optimal nourishment. Our Really Good Hair Oil, rich in Bhringraj, Amla, and Castor Oil, nourishes the scalp and strengthens the hair from the roots and is an excellent choice for scalp massage. Head massage regularly can increase blood circulation, reduce dryness, and result in stronger and shinier hair.
Relaxes Muscle Stiffness and Joint Pain
Another benefit of Ayurvedic massage is its ability to relieve muscle pain, stiffness, and joint aches through a full-body massage using herbal-infused oils. Our Really Good Muscle & Joints Oil, infused with Ashwagandha, Tulsi, and Boswellia, is ideal for easing stiffness and soothing tired muscles after a long day. This oil seeps deep into the skin, easing mobility and relaxation and reducing inflammation.
Reduces Stress and Promotes Mental Well-being
A widely recognised benefit of Ayurvedic massage is its ability to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation. When coupled with aromatic oils such as our Rosehip Oil or Lavender-infused body oils, it is particularly more grounding and relaxing. Regular self-massage can regulate cortisol levels, which helps with mental clarity and emotional stability.
Enhances Circulation and Detoxifies the Body
By stimulating the lymphatic system, Ayurvedic massage aids in the detoxification of the body whilst also improving circulation. The benefits of ayurvedic massage can be seen by using oils such as Aloe Gel or Black Seed Oil, which can further enhance detoxification, leaving the skin radiant and rejuvenated. Daily self-massage also enhances circulation, reduces puffiness, and gives an energy boost overall.
Promotes Better Sleep and Relaxation
Massaging warm herbal oils into the body before bedtime relaxes the muscles, calms anxiety, and promotes restful sleep. Our Muscle and Joints Oil, containing multiple soothing herbs, may be massaged into the temples, feet, and neck to induce deep relaxation and improve the quality of sleep.
Strengthens the Immune System
One amazing benefit of Ayurvedic massage is that it naturally boosts immunity by enhancing circulation, stimulating lymphatic drainage, and reducing stress. The healing herbs in our oils are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial and give a sense of general well-being and health.
How to Perform Ayurvedic Massage at Home
- Pre-warm the oil slightly before applying it to the body. This helps the oil to go deeper into the skin and relax the muscles.
- Use slow circular motions on joints and long strokes on limbs to stimulate circulation and ease tension.
- Give extra attention to the scalp, soles of the feet, and palms, as these have significant energy points that influence the entire body.
- Leave the oil to absorb for at least 20-30 minutes before rinsing off with warm water or a gentle herbal cleanser.
