How To Self Massage:

The first step in your journey towards mind body spirit healing is developing a practice. Everyday you should do something that serves your spirit, your higher self-- meditation, exercise, yoga, create. This herbal salve is not just for your physical wellness. Each type of plant contains ancient wisdom meant to nourish our bodies and provide us with the healing we seek.  We invite you to create a ritual around massaging yourself.

Self-massage does not have to be a time consuming process. A daily practice of self-abhyanga, or oil massage, in conjunction with at least one monthly synchronized abhyanga therapy by qualified Panchakarma Technicians is recommended. At home, you can perform self-abhyanga each morning after your skin is prepped by your dry brush and ready to receive the oil’s hydrating nourishment.

• Brush your skin with a dry brush to remove dead skin, dirt and debris from its surface as well as prepare the skin’s pores for receiving the oil
• Warm your oil by putting a pea size amount in your palms and rubbing your palms together
• Gently but firmly, massage your body all over: begin with the neck, working your way down to your feet. Use long strokes for limbs and short strokes for joints. Don’t forget fingers and toes, and pay extra attention to the soles of your feet, as they contain all the nerve endings and important vital energy centers, or conjunctions of asé , life force energy
• Let the oil sit for 5-10 minutes. Don’t skip this step, as self-massage deeper benefits depend on the body’s absorption of the oil and herbs. It takes a few minutes for the oil to penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin, and another several minutes for it to penetrate the tissues of the internal body. This is an excellent time to prepare some tea or practice some deep breathing.
