BENEFITS

In Ayurveda, self-oil massage is known as snehana, or self-love. Daily practice of anointing your body with rich, warm oil is said to soften signs of aging, settle a racing mind, strengthen the skin, nourish the bones and muscles, benefit the immune system, boost circulation, and much more.

Soothes and reduces excess Vata, without aggravating Kapha dosha.
Promotes stability, strength, and soft skin.
Supports the body’s natural detoxification pathways.
Ideal for the whole family—adults, young children, and babies.
Pure, ethical, cruelty-free, vegan, sulphate & paraben-free.

INGREDIENTS

100% wildcrafted, cold pressed black sesame oil

HOW TO USE

To use for abhyanga practice, begin by warming the oil. Place a small amount of oil in a metal or glass container and warm it by placing it in a larger container of hot water. Remove from the hot water when it's warm, but still comfortable to the touch. Sitting in a warm bath or on a designated abhyanga towel, begin with your face and outer part of your ears, using a circular or back-and-forth motion as is comfortable. Massage both the front and back of your neck and the upper part of your spine. Massage your arms, using a back-and-forth motion over your long bones and a circular motion over your joints. Use a clockwise circular motion to massage over your heart and abdomen. Massage your legs, using the same long motion over your leg bones and a circular motion over your joints. Last but not least, massage your feet. Use the open part of your hand to massage vigorously back-and-forth over the soles and give your toes special attention. Let the oil sink into your skin for 2-20 minutes. Then wash it off in a warm bath or shower. Precautions: All oils are highly flammable. Thoroughly launder clothing or towels that have absorbed oil and dry on low heat to avoid a fire hazard. Towels left unattended with oil on them can spontaneously combust, causing a fire.
