Ayurveda has been so keen in describing the measures one has to follow to protect the health and prevent from the disease. Ayurveda scholars understood the concept of prevention since its origin. The classical texts describes the daily routine, seasonal routine, foods, property of food , the ethical and moral codes to be followed by a person for positive health.
Abhyanga
Abhyanga is one of the most popular term and process in Ayurveda. It is nothing but application of oil on body. Though it refers to the literal meaning, if we look in detail, the concept is a broader one. Abhyanga is the regular oil application externally to be practised daily for different benefits. The same has also been used as a therapeutic process for healing purpose.
We can use any oil for Abhyanga when used for daily use. Any oil means that any oil that suits the basic body constitution, the season, the age. Of course, I admit the specificity. What I meant is it need not to be a medicated oil. You can even use plane coconut oil, mustard oil, gingelly oil. etc.
When used as a therapeutic process, specific medicated oils can only be used according to the condition.
Abhyanga is really effective in reducing the ageing of skin, good for eyes and helps for sound sleep
