Digest Number 1719 - ayurvedic oils

[Guest guest]

Afternoon all,

 

I use a number of Ayurvedic oils in my massages, but not as an Ayurvedic

massage. So looking up one of my books this is what I found:

 

Base oils to balance the Vata disorders

Sesame (Black, preferably), ashwagandha, lotus nad avocado

 

Base oils to balance the Pitta disorders

Grapeseed, coconut, brahmi and lotus

 

Base oils to balance the Kapha disorders

brahmi, sweet almond, flaxseed and ashwagandha

 

Base oils which are beneficial to all doshas

Jojoba, Aloe vera, wheat germ, apricot kernel, hazelnut and evening primrose.

 

My information comes from:
