[@kourgun1827]

[@banyanbotanicals]

Not necessarily! Especially if you are experiencing Pitta imbalances

[@amalaankem8117]

Can you apply oil/ massage the face as well?

[@banyanbotanicals]

Thank you for tuning in! 🌱💚 Yes, you can absolutely massage the face as well, it can be a beautiful self-love practice, and it feels so good.

[@startale5768]

can abhyanga also be done by pregnant ladies during pregnancy and after delivery too

[@Anshika7]

no

[@DivineVeda]

@@Anshika7 why not?what is the reason?

[@banyanbotanicals]

Abhyanga is not recommend during pregnancy. Because abhyanga can stimulate detoxification, the fetus could become exposed to ama. That said, there is certainly a place for therapeutic touch and light massage during pregnancy-just not the practice of traditional abhyanga, which is quite vigorous and stimulating. Here is more information about when not to do Abhyanga: www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/blog-the-banyan-insight/details/when-to-not-do-abhyanga-and-why/

[@startale5768]

@@banyanbotanicals ok can it be done delivery then

[@123Casso123]

Hi there! :) Is there a preference when to do the massage? Morning or evening? Thank you!

[@banyanbotanicals]

Great question! Abhyanga is traditionally done before showering, so you can incorporate it into either your morning or evening routine 💚

[@artofimagination7747]

Hey but I have heard you should never massage head and leg at a same time

[@banyanbotanicals]

Thank you for sharing your insights. Ayurvedic self-massage, Abhyanga, recommends working on one part of the body at a time.

[@ishaajain]

Should I do this everyday?

[@banyanbotanicals]

Ideally Abhyanga would be done every day as part of your daily routine, or what is known as Dinacharya in Ayurveda. Having daily practices is one of the most nurturing ways to honor and ground yourself.

[@modernbrahmcharikashi864]

Is it ok to massage on the face also

[@banyanbotanicals]

Thank you for tuning in! Yes, Abhyanga is a whole-body massage that includes the face, here is an article with more information on Abhyanga www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/lifestyle/self-oil-massage/

[@savitabedi568]

Is the oil not washed off with soap during bath?

[@banyanbotanicals]

Great question! Ideally the oil will absorb into the skin during Abhyanga, but a small amount of soap can be used if you feel very oily still. This article can help you avoid an oily mess www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/blog-the-banyan-insight/details/how-to-avoid-an-oily-mess-during-abhyanga/

[@amandaaussie-at-heart2735]
