All about Udvartanam

If you are someone suffering from obesity issues, diabetes, neuropathy, muscular weakness, etc., or if you want to improve the glow of your skin after pregnancy or excess weight gain around the abdomen, or if you wish to de-stress and remove the stiffness, you should think of Udvartanam as a rejuvenation process. At times, Udvartanam may also be given for a specific body part either to reduce the fat deposition there or to reduce the abdominal fat, or to increase the circulation of blood to a particular part of the body like in the case of Rheumatoid arthritis. The outcome of this treatment is highly individualized and is based on the specific needs of a person. One may increase the effect of udvartanam and Abhyangam by following a strict diet. You can’t simply avoid lifestyle choices you make and not depend solely on Udvartanam for the best results. Apart from choosing the right diet, brisk walking for 20 minutes or doing exercise, Yoga, and meditation for 30 minutes are also recommended.

What is Abhyangam?

Abhyangam is a message that is done with warm oil by applying to the entire body, from the scalp to the soles of your feet. Having the reputation as the most popular message in Ayurveda, it is a traditional system very popular in India. Ayurveda mainly focuses on maintaining health through natural practices that consist of messages and what you eat. The oil is the central component of this practice and when combined with massage strokes, it surely does the best in promoting overall health and wellness. Typically performed by a massage therapist, Abhyangam has many benefits to offer to the regular client. Let’s understand a few of them in detail one by one.

Benefits of Abhyangam

• Stress management:

Ayurveda strictly believes in the role of stress in creating different problems in our lives. May it be physical ailments; personal relationships, economic, or spiritual problems, stress is the obvious reason behind all of these. Ayurveda believes that the mind and body reflect one another. In Abhyangam, stress relief is ensured. This promotes relaxation of the entire body. Could there be a relaxing way to beat the stress and maintain health?

• Skin health

Having beautiful, healthy, and glowing skin is not just a superficial achievement. Ayurveda has given more importance to good skin as it indicates well-being and good health. Abhyangam or Ayurvedic oil massage is an intensive detoxification process that ensures healthy skin. The warm oil reaches deep into the skin tissues and nourishing it also cleans sweat glands. It hydrates and replenishes the tissues while promoting proper blood circulation. Message strokes in Abhyangam or Oil Massage also ensure the following:

• Improve the blood flow and help the skin glow.
• Reduce wrinkles
• Reduce scars
• Reduce Cellulite
• Decrease the amount of hyperpigmentation
• Enhance skin softness and smoothness.

Daily practice of Abhyangam is necessary for emotional and spiritual aspects of the self and prevents stress and emotional disorders from causing adverse skin and health effects.

• Reduce muscle stiffness:

Ayurveda has proved that behind all types of pain is the aggravation of Vata in the body. It causes hypersensitivity leading to pain because it pacifies the aggravated Vata and removes toxins and any blockage of circulatory channels from the body. Apart from that it also offers flexibility and mobility of the muscles and joints, without fail.

• Other benefits:

Abhyangam has many other benefits to offer, which include:

• Promote and ensure Physical Strength
