Abhangya Oil

Abhyanga Oil is a classical Ayurvedic formulation designed for daily self-massage (Abhyanga) and therapeutic body care. Enriched with the strengthening properties of Bala (Sida cordifolia) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), the detoxifying and anti-inflammatory action of Panchaguna, the revitalizing effects of Karpuradi (Camphor blend), and the nourishing base of Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum), this oil restores vitality, enhances circulation, promotes muscle and joint health, and balances Vata Dosha. Regular use supports deep tissue nourishment, stress relief, and optimal skin health.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS & MECHANISMS:

• Musculoskeletal Strengthening & Vata Balancing
  Bala and Ashwagandha offer Balya (strengthening) and Brimhana (nourishing) actions, improving muscle tone and joint flexibility.
• Nervine Tonic & Adaptogenic Support
  Ashwagandha and Karpuradi act as nervine tonics, helping reduce stress, fatigue, and mental fog.
• Anti-inflammatory & Detoxifying
  Panchaguna herbs have Shothahara (anti-inflammatory) and Ama-pachana (detoxifying) actions that help relieve joint stiffness, myalgia, and inflammatory conditions.
• Circulation Enhancer & Lymphatic Support
  Regular massage with warm oil stimulates peripheral blood flow, enhances lymphatic drainage, and strengthens immunity.
• Skin Nourishment & Rejuvenation
  Sesame oil deeply moisturizes, improving elasticity and softness, while camphor tones and refreshes the skin.
