“Abhyanga should be resorted to daily, it wards off old age” -Ashtanga Hridayam

As the fall moves into winter, oil massage is such a gem of a practice. There are however, a few things to note about the timing. The texts recommend oiling of the ears and feet as most important. In the event you aren’t making a self-massage happen very often, keep sesame oil by your bed and massage a Tbsp into the crown of the head and the soles of the feet nightly. Wear a light pair of socks to bed to protect your sheets.
