It is always safer to consult an Ayurvedic physician before using any of these oils. The doctor can assess your condition thoroughly and guide you better about which oil is best for you.

According to Ayurveda, massage means “Abhyanga.”

Ayurvedic massage is not merely an application of oil to the body. It is a complete therapy in itself. Hence, it is considered as an essential daily regimen of the day.

According to Ayurveda, joint pain can happen due to aggravated Vata dosha. Vata is the energy present inside the body with the predominance of space & air element. It controls all the movements of the mind and body.

An improper diet and lifestyle habits could cause Vata imbalance. Further, it could lead to symptoms like joint pain, body ache, and other symptoms.

One of the best therapy to manage joint pain is massaging your joints with medicated oil.

The herbal oil improves blood circulation and enhances muscle tone. It reduces the dryness and pain caused due to Vata imbalance. Hence, it is best to use them for joint pain.
