Abhyanga, Ayurvedic oil massage, when practiced regularly, delays the effects of aging by rejuvenation and repair. It enhances the nourishment of deep tissues and makes the skin healthy and the body strong. It reduces fatigue, induces sound sleep, and calms the mind.

Traditionally, Ayurveda emphasizes using oils extracted through processes like cold pressing. Nowadays, essential oils are added to enhance the benefits and experience. Essential oils are concentrated botanical tools that align with Ayurveda’s therapeutic principles and, can support the mind-body connection, especially through its aroma or Gandh. These oils add a therapeutic layer to support mental and emotional well-being.

In Ayurveda, the specific aroma of each essential oil possesses unique qualities that balance specific doshas. For example, essential oils like rose, sandalwood, jasmine, or chamomile help soothe Pitta imbalances and promote inner peace, invigorating aromas like eucalyptus can counter sluggishness often associated with Kapha, tulsi (holy basil) is warming and helps calm Vata while sweet, floral scent of lavender is known for its ability to relieve anxiety and promote relaxation.

By integrating both olfactory stimulation and touch, essential oils deepen the therapeutic impact of the massage, providing holistic nourishment and a rejuvenating experience that extends well beyond the treatment itself. The olfactory system is closely linked to the limbic system, the brain’s emotional center. When inhaled, these scents can immediately influence mood, reduce stress levels, and evoke a sense of calm.
