Abhyanga, Self Massage Benefits

What exactly is Abhyanga? Abhyanga is a ritualistic full-body warm oil massage, which despite being blissfully comforting and luxuriously relaxing heals your body and mind. It is nevertheless, a daily massage therapy. What does it really do and how does it exactly serve to improve the functioning of the body? Our body accumulates stress and tension.
This is partly a result of the tight schedule that we live by and the high degree of stress that we take in our professional life that largely affects our personal circle and primarily our health and welfare. Imagine yourself and the kind of strain that you put on your body especially the neck and the eye sitting in the office, in front of your computer from 9 in the morning to 5 in the evening. Now imagine the tension that is likely to be accumulated on your muscles when you have the same routine for an entire week. Abhyanga helps the body to get rid of the accumulated muscular stress and tension. The following are the advantages of Abhyanga.
The ayurvedic massage enhances blood circulation. Blood circulation is extremely necessary as far as reduction of muscular stress and nervous complications is concerned. It not only contributes to muscle toning but also to the toning of the entire body. Apart from that it calms the nerves and enhances psychological welfare and mental alertness. It is also a very effective tool as far as arthritis is concerned. It helps relieve the pain in the joints by enhancing lubrication. Another important function of the ayurvedic massage is to get rid of the waste from our body. The process of elimination of waste from the body is an important function that the ayurvedic massage aids. It has primarily to do with the regulated and resolute supply of oxygen throughout the body, which the massage ensures.
Traditionally performed in the morning, the ayurvedic massage serves to release the toxin in the body, accumulated the previous night. Added to that, it provides aid to the skin in performing all the tasks resolutely. For example, the massage ensures the proper absorption of the nourishment by the tissues. Unlike spa, the traditional Abhyanga provides a very herbal and natural treatment as the products it uses are natural derivates. For example, it uses chemical free organic sesame oil. Because of the antioxidants present in the natural oil, the skin remains very healthy. It can also be aided by the use of herbalized massage oils.
