Balance Dosha, Increase Circulation and Nutrition, Remove Toxins, Panch Karma
Massaging helps balance the body mind in many ways. It increases circulation to bring more nutrition to the cells and helps to remove metabolic wastes and toxins built up in the system. Using oils specific to doshas one can bring each of the doshas into alignment, especially the Vata dosha which is balanced by oil in general. And the healing aspects of all the essential oils that we use in all our massage oil adds another dimension to the effectiveness of these ayurvedic aromatherapy massage oils. These oils are great to use for Panch Karma preparations (Purva Karma) as they are formulated for each specific dosha and include their own dipanas - digestives.
