RITUAL Seasonal Abhyanga Oil

ABHYANGA OIL

An Ayurvedic Ritual for Vitality, Longevity & Inner Stillness

Abhyanga — the ancient practice of self-massage — is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic daily care. This deeply medicinal ritual prevents and heals illness, reverses signs of aging, supports longevity, remedies nervous system disorders, eases insomnia, and strengthens immunity by stimulating antibody production. It also prevents dehydration of the skin and promotes inner balance.

This Vata-pacifying, Pitta-soothing, and Kapha-grounding oil blend is crafted to nourish and strengthen the muscles, lubricate joints, and calm the mind — enhancing meditative clarity and inviting stillness to the spirit.

How to Use
Before engaging in movement — whether yoga, a bike ride, a morning walk, or a hike — warm the oil slightly and apply it in long, rhythmic strokes across the body. Let your palms move intuitively over joints and muscles, softening stiffness and stimulating circulation. This sacred stimulation encourages the release of toxins and awakens the body’s natural flow.

Ideally practiced in the morning, self-Abhyanga is both a protective shield and an act of devotion — reminding your body that it is worthy of care, rhythm, and reverence.
