WHAT IS ABHYANGA MASSAGE?

Abhi signifies ‘towards’ and anga is one of its implications, alludes to ‘movement’.Abhyanga is a synchronized massaging of the body towards the direction of the movement of arterial blood. The logical explanation behind this convention might be to expand the bloodstream towards the most distal parts of the body and abstain from overpowering the heart through expanded venous return if the back rub is done towards the heart, or at the end of the day, toward the path inverse to that of the body hair.

The Abhyanga is a part of the Dinacharya (daily practices) specified by the Brhat Trayi and Laghutrayi series of Ayurvedic textbooks to maintain good health and well being. An Abhyanga is endorsed for joint well-being, to feed the dhatus (tissues of the body) and to take disturbed doshas back to adjust. The Abhyanga is additionally prescribed to mollify irritated Vata dosha, enhance the state of to a great degree, dry and coarse hair and flaky skin. Abhyanga might be finished utilizing oil, homegrown powder, homegrown glues or ghee. It is a piece of the dinacharya or the day by day routine recommended by Ayurveda. It is utilized for an alleviation of agony, solidness, and tiredness. It likewise frames an imperative piece of snehana or oleation which is a crucial prelude to panchakarma medicines, the five Ayurvedic detoxification treatments.
