Our moisturizing body oil hydrates and soothes skin, while stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It is specially crafted for "Abhyanga," a type of Ayurvedic Massage.

Featured Ingredients

• Hemp - Rich in omega fatty acids and vitamins A, B, D, and E. Highly emollient and anti-inflammatory.
• Sweet Almond - Rich in vitamins A & E. Moisturizing but lightweight. Considered a universal oil in Ayurveda.

• Ashwagandha - Adaptogen. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich.
• Bala - Supports nervous system, muscles, and joints. Gives a beautiful glow to the skin.

• Lavender - Calming aroma, balances moisture barrier.
• Frankincense - Soothing to both mind and skin.
• Copaiba - Powerful anti-inflammatory.
  

How to use: For nourished, glowing skin, massage oil over entire body after shower or bath. Best when used on damp skin. Add to a warm bath for an enriching, luxurious soak.

How to perform an Abhyanga oil massage on yourself:

1. (Optional) Begin by dry-brushing to remove dead skin. Brush in long strokes, moving towards your heart.

2. Warm a small amount of oil in a bowl by setting it in a pan of hot water.

3. Gently but firmly massage your whole body, using long strokes on limbs, and circular motions on joints. Make sure you don't forget your feet, ears, and scalp (our Rasa Ayurvedic Hair Oil is even better for the scalp!).

4. Sit for 5-20 minutes to allow the oil to penetrate. Take this time for meditation or breathing exercises.

5. Take a warm shower to remove excess oil. (Be sure to wash your feet first so you don't slip!) Use soap only where needed, but  just rinse your body otherwise, as to not fully remove the oil. Make sure to pat dry with a towel, but don't rub. You may want to reserve a special towel for these days, as the oil will build up.

6. Perform Abhyanga at least 2-3 times a week. Developing a regular practice will increase circulation, improve the texture of your skin, and even help calm your nerves to help you sleep.

Please note: Abhyanga is not recommended while pregnant, menstruating, after a heavy meal, or for certain medical conditions. Consult your doctor first.
