To ensure that you’re supporting healthy agni and ojas, the precursor to inner and outer radiance, there is one Ayurvedic practice recommend above all others: rasayana, or Ayurvedic rejuvenation. Translated as “the path (āyana) of essence (rasa)”, rasayana is aimed at restoring the body’s vitality through rest, self care and a gentle diet.

Anoint Yourself Abhyanga is beloved Ayurvedic self care practice in which you anoint your body with warm oil, massaging your skin to soothe and rejuvenate. When applied, warm oil dissolves fat soluble toxins, nourishes the tissues, calms the nervous system and improves immunity, making this an integral part of an Ayurvedic lifestyle.

Other benefits include increased circulation, reduced anxiety, improved joint mobility & lubrication, increased mental alertness and stamina, regular elimination, deeper sleep — and radiant skin.

Fun fact about this self care practice: the Sanskrit word sneha means both “oil” and “love,” and as you’ll experience, the effects of abhyanga are similar to being saturated with love—that feeling of stability, warmth and comfort.
