Your Routine

  1. Fill about 50-100 mL of fresh Ayurveda oil in a 200 mL (squeeze) bottle. 
  2. Warm the oil by placing the bottle in a small bowl of hot water until the oil is pleasantly warm.
  3. Sit or stand comfortably in a warm room, on a towel that you don’t mind ruining with oil accumulation. A wind-free, noise, free, gently lit room is preferred.
  4. Apply oil generously to your entire body.
  5. Massage the oil into your body, beginning at the extremities and working toward the middle of your body. Use long strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints. Massage the abdomen and chest in broad, clockwise, circular motions. On the abdomen, follow the path of the large intestine; moving up on the right side of the abdomen, then across, then down on the left side.
  6. Massage the body for 10–30 minutes, with love and attention. You might listen to any relaxing music. 
  7. Give a little extra time and attention to massaging the oil into your scalp, ears and feet, at least once a week. Apply oil to the crown of your head (adhipati marma) and work slowly out from there in circular strokes. Oil applied to the head should be warm but not hot.
  8. Put a couple drops of warm oil on the tip of your little finger or on a cotton ball and apply to the opening of the ear canal. (If there is any current or chronic discomfort in the ears don’t do this without the recommendation of your health care practitioner).
  9. When you massage your feet, be sure to wash them first when you shower, so you don’t slip.
  10. Enjoy a warm bath or shower. A vata, pitta or kapha dusting powder can help rinse off the oil without drying out the skin. You can use a mild soap on the “strategic” areas.
  11. When you get out of the bath, towel dry. Keep a special towel for drying off after your abhyanga because it will eventually get ruined, due to the accumulation of oil.
  12. Put on a pair of cotton socks (organic, if you can find them) to protect your environment from the residual oil on your feet.
  13. Applying a high quality essential oil to your wrists and neck can further support balance. If you are not familiar with which essential oils are balancing for each dosha, try rose or mitti for vata, rose or khus for pitta, and hina or myrrh for kapha.


Laundry, Cleaning, and Plumbing Tips

​Doing abhyanga can cause towels or sheets to get rancid and ruined, can strain plumbing, and cause the bathtub floor to get sticky. Here are some tips to address these problems.
  • Pour a little environmentally friendly drain cleanser down your drain once a month. Cold water, used with soap that can dissolve in cold water, may cause the oil to bead up and wash along the drain better than hot water, which liquefies the oil, making it more likely to stick to the plumbing.
  • Keep one towel for sitting on when you apply the oil and one that you use only for drying off after your shower. The first will get ruined the quickest. The second will, too, eventually, even with the best laundry techniques.
  • Some laundering options:
    • Add a few tablespoons each of vinegar and baking soda to the hot water, once it has filled the washing machine. When combined, they can be a volatile mixture and eat through pipes, as well as oil. Added at the start of the wash cycle, though, this potentially corrosive mixture will be diluted and safe for plumbing by the time the washer drains.
    • It is also possible to wash the towels with one tablespoon of Lestoil and no other laundry detergent and to spot-clean oily clothes by rubbing Lestoil into the spot and wash later.
    • There are also environmentally-friendly detergents and cleaners on the market that may be quite effective.
    • If you can’t get all the oil out, you might plan to replace your sheets or towels about twice a year.
  • Oily towels and linens are at risk of catching fire if they become too hot. If a towel is very oily, even after it is washed, it’s better to throw it away or hang dry. If you use a clothes dryer, it’s better to use low heat. Do not leave oily towels in a hot car.
  • Although it is ideal to practice abhyanga in the morning, some people don’t have time then, and prefer to do it in the evening before bed to calm themselves down. If you turn out to be one of these people, wear a “special” set of cotton (or other natural fiber) nightclothes for at least an hour after showering. They will absorb most of the remaining oil on your skin. And, if you got oil in your hair, put a towel over your pillow, to protect it.
  • Keep a bottle of dish detergent in your shower or tub. When you are done washing, squirt some on the tub or shower floor and spread it around with your feet, sort of mopping up the floor. Let the shower flow over it and wash everything down the drain. Doing this every time you wash after abhyanga prevents an accumulation of oil. If your balance is poor, the shower floor is slippery, or you fear you might slip, make sure that you hold on tight to something stable while you do this. Or get somebody else to do it or find another way to keep the floor clean. Please don’t slip and hurt yourself. That would defeat the health-giving purpose of this practice.
