A Conceptual Review of Abhyanga and its Cosmetic Benefits
Keywords:
Abhyanga, Twak, Dhamanee, CosmeticsAbstract
Ayurveda is a science of life that from time immemorial has served the purpose of health and beauty to humanity. It has abundance of practices and procedures that when practiced regularly, not only benefit the human health but are holistic to the environment and community. A few of these measures are grouped under Dinacharya, one among which is Abbhyanga. Abhyanga, when followed regularly renders various benefits to the body. The mode of action of the same has been clearly explained by Acharya Sushruta, in chapters of Dhamanee Shareera and Twak Shareera. The Tiryak-Gata Dhamanee helps to transfer, metabolize and utilize the Abhyanga Dravya with the help of other components of the Twak, which are then projected by Avabhasini layer of Twak, along with the other benefits of Abhyanga. This regular use of Abhyanga is being advocated here in order to re-establish the importance of Dinacharya, as well as reduce the burden of cosmetics in a person’s life.
