Our organic sunflower oil is a wonderful base oil for self-abhyanga (oil massage). It is suitable for all doshic constitutions, and especially balancing to pitta owing to its slightly cooling nature. It is light in scent and color, giving itself to personal customization with doshic specific essential oils or specialty oils. Ayurveda teaches that abhyanga should be given to oneself everyday as a part of one’s dinacharya (daily practice) to maintain youthfulness and to energize. Even self-abhyanga done once a week for about 15 minutes can bring many health benefits. Self-abhyanga can be performed in the morning prior to yoga and showering, or at night before bed to allow the nourishment of the oil to be absorbed deep into the body overnight.
