155: Ayurvedic Abhyanga: Nourishing Your Skin, Mind & Body for the Summer Ahead

Welcome to June on the Habit Thrive Podcast, where we're going to be focusing on seasonal self-care habits for women in their "Me Now" years.

Today, on Episode #155, we're diving into a beautiful ayurvedic ritual that has supported women's wellness for thousands of years: Abhyanga - the art of warm oil self massage.

This grounding, calming, and revitalizing practice affects your entire being.

I'm talking deep, deep nourishment for your skin, your mind, and your body.

For your skin:

- Provides deep hydration and nourishment

- Softens rough, dry, sun-exposed skin

- Supports elasticity

For your mind:

- Promotes calm through rhythmic, grounding strokes

- Acts as a moving meditation

- Reduces anxiety, irritability, and emotional heat

- Helps set the tone for your day (or night)

For your body:

- Stimulates circulation and lymphatic flow

- Aids digestion and detoxification

- Supports joint and muscle health

- Strengthens immunity and resilience

So ... grab your coconut oil; some towels; and maybe a nice, sunny spot on the porch ... and let's explore the nourishing and revitalizing art of Abhyanga.

Love,
