Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health challenges today, often caused by stress, lifestyle imbalance, and emotional strain. Ayurveda offers holistic therapies that not only address symptoms but also focus on the root cause by restoring harmony between mind and body. Treatments like Abhyangam (therapeutic oil massage) and Pizhichil (warm oil therapy) deeply relax the nervous system, reducing mental fatigue. Nasyam, which involves administering medicated oils through the nose, helps clear the mind and balance hormones. Shirodhara, a calming stream of warm oil poured onto the forehead, induces a meditative state and soothes the brain. Together, these therapies help manage emotional disturbances naturally, promoting mental clarity, better sleep, and emotional stability. Ayurveda supports mental well-being without side effects, offering a safe path to inner peace and emotional resilience.
Ayurvedic Massage, known as the Abhyanga or Abhyangam, is one of the most important dincharyas (daily regimen) mentioned in the classics for achieving good health and longevity. It includes a full body massage done using herbal oils that have several health benefits. Experts believe that many of the prevalent modern-day massage techniques are the modified forms of Abhyangam.
The health benefits of Abhyangham-massage are mentioned in the Ancient Ayurvedic text Ashtanga Hridaya. It is believed to prevent Ageing, reduce Fatigue, and also diminish the effects of aggravated Vata Dosha.
Abhyangam can be performed in several classical positions. At Rudveda, it is done in 7 different classical positions with long flowing strokes. Some Ayurvedic centres perform it in 4 positions. The number of strokes used and amount of pressure applied during massage varies based on the individual’s requirements and ‘Prakriti.’ The herbal oil used for it is customised as per the patient’s Prakriti and presenting conditions. Ayurvedic Massage can be performed as a stand-alone therapy or as a precursor to other therapy regimen; it can be performed by a single therapist or by two therapists working in synchronisation.
Ayurvedic massages use synchronised motions to stimulate nerve endings to increase blood circulation, thereby channelising early elimination of toxins from the body. The herbs in the medicated oils rejuvenate the tissue and play a vital role in the elimination of toxins and bring a feeling of wellbeing. The lukewarm herbal oil used in Ayurvedic massage stimulates nerve endings thereby improving peripheral blood circulation. The specific long flowing strokes improve the lymphatic flow and promote early elimination of toxins from the body.
