When wanting to bring the mind body and spirit into balance we look at implementing changes depending on your constitution with food, herbs, yoga, daily routine and manual therapies.
Not all of us will have the time nor the resources to enjoy therapies offered by a professional but we can take time on a day to day basis and incorporate Abhyanga (meaning massage) into our routine.
In the morning when cleansing your face take a few minutes to massage your face, there are vata reducing marma points on our face that correlate to areas of our body and it can help with insomnia, back pain and anti-ageing.
In the evening before a shower treat yourself to a full body massage with oil, a go to oil that is suitable for all constitutions is Maha Narayan (meaning great god). Once finished have a warm shower as through massage the skin expells toxins that need to be washed away.
A foot massage helps to reduce pitta imbalance, hand massages benefit vata and back massages kapha and vata.
