Re: OIL your way to health...

Hi
Thanks for the tip. I need the direction for masssage?

Generally there is also another thing. Oil massage should not be performed in some days. Can you please provide info on that also

 

Re: OIL your way to health...

If you have the time for it,then daily oil massage for 10 minutes and washing it off with either kadalamaavu or greengram dhal powder will do wonders for the skin.It is called daily self abhayangham.
Oils like coconut oil or til oil can be used for this.
Til is more effective for the body.

Lahy,

I know this is a very old thread.
I have tried warming up all oils together and applied and massaged and then took hair bath.

But what is the use of wrapping hot towel around the hair after massage? Any usage?
And how to make a towel hot? Putting in warm water or dry hot towel u mean?

The best oil for me would be olive oil. In early Greece, triathletes applied it all over their physiques in getting ready for a match. For many of years, the ancients utilized it for various medical and faith based reasons. In this article, we examine just how it protects your skin.
Among the many benefits of olive oil skin care is its abundance in Vitamin E. This component can make your skin more healthy. It's an anti-oxidant, which implies it can guard your skin from hazardous poisons. This stimulates much healthier skin, making it start looking clean.

Through olive oil skin care, you don't have to get worried about such issues. It's an organic product from the olive tree, that's native to the Mediterranean area. Olives are usually pressed to acquire the oil. The most excellent type is called extra virgin, which emanates from the primary pressing. This really is the most beneficial, purest version that you can have, as what's left are refined physically and chemically. In the event that you're going to use the product for your skin, then extra virgin is your best bet.
You can find numerous approaches to implement olive oil skin care. You can utilize it as a skin moisturizer by putting it on dry skin spots. It can likewise be applied as a hand moisturizing scrub whenever you blend it with sugar, continuing to keep your hands and fingers smooth and flexible. It also can be useful for reducing ear wax. There are research that propose that it can help in the reduction of cancerous growths in lab rats, but that hasn't been recognized in mankind at this time. Still, olive oil is an excellent all-natural ingredient for skin.
Olive oil skin care has been with us for centuries. Many people utilised it a huge number of years back, and it has received its space in history, not simply as a skin therapy, but as an overall good part of diet practices. With its usefulness validated, we can turn to this ingredient for our regular skin care needs.
