In cold weather the skin becomes dry and dryness increases. In such a situation, Ayurveda recommends doing a light massage with sesame oil before bathing. It not only provides moisture to the skin, but also improves blood circulation and keeps both body and mind fresh.
Ayurveda considers massaging the body with sesame oil as important before bathing and recommends including it in the daily routine. Light massage with sesame oil before bathing provides many benefits to the body. This ancient Ayurvedic method not only nourishes the skin, but also improves blood circulation and brings a natural glow.
The Ministry of AYUSH of the Government of India also describes this Ayurvedic method as very beneficial. Sesame oil is considered best for ‘lubrication’ in Ayurveda. Lightly massaging the entire body with this oil before bathing keeps the skin moisturized, removes dryness and provides relief from problems occurring in cold weather. This process, called Abhyanga, refreshes the body and provides peace to the mind.
Ayurveda experts say that sesame oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamin E and essential fatty acids. With light massage, this oil penetrates deep into the skin, which increases blood flow and strengthens the muscles. This is especially beneficial in winter as cold air makes the skin dry.
Regular massage reduces joint pain, fatigue and stress. Apart from this, this massage boosts immunity and balances Vata dosha. Ayurveda experts say that sesame oil is safe and effective for both children and adults. By taking bath with lukewarm water after massage, the properties of the oil get absorbed well in the body, making the skin soft and shiny.
Experts say that this 10-15 minute massage should become a part of daily routine. Apply lukewarm oil and massage in circular motion. It not only improves physical health but also gives mental energy.
