The act of massage itself melts away tension and stress from the muscles. Ayurveda believes that these inherent Ayurvedic massage benefits are further enhanced with the addition of an Ayurvedic massage oil. Health benefits from implementing a daily oil rub into your morning or evening routine include:
Musculoskeletal and nervous system health
Proper circulation and lymph drainage
Improved sleep patterns
Softer, stronger skin
Healthy vision
Graceful aging
Lustrous hair
Firm, strong limbs
Tone and vigor for the body’s tissues
Increased longevity
Nourishment for the whole body
In Sanskrit, the word sneha can be translated as both “oil” and “love.” So in Ayurveda, there is an inherent connection between enveloping the body in oil and enveloping it in love.
