Massage (oil massage) plays a central role in Ayurvedic beauty and treatments, stimulating circulation and promoting elimination of toxic elements. Massage helps beautify the skin and rejuvenate the body. Oils are highly priced in Ayurveda and are considered essential to the healthy functioning of the body.
Ingredients
Almond Oil x 6 tbspns
Lavender essential oil x 25 drops
Rosemary essential oil x 10 drops
Peppermint essential oil x 5 drops
Method
Mix the oils well. Bottle in an airtight jar.
Use a little oil in the palm of your hand and rub your palms together. Vary your touch as you massage by moving your hands lightly over the skin. Use finger tips for static pressure and the softer pads of the fingers for kneading and circling movements. Avoid putting pressure on any joints. Any pressure should be upwards towards the head. Repeat from time to time as the oil wears off your hands.
Massage oil should be washed off after a treatment, so any waste toxic materials that the oil has helped pull out do not re-enter the body.
Its helpful to do a quick massage everyday before you bathe. Keeping a bottle of massage oil in the shower/bath is handy. Even a quick 2 minute daily massage can do wonders for detoxing, beautifying, and rejuvenating the body.
Treat yourself atleast once a month to a full body massage.
Adaara. Nurturing the body, mind, and spirit.
