Ayurvedic herbal oil for pain and injury treatments

ayurvedic oil

Ayurvedic herbal oils have been used in India for thousands of years to treat pain and injuries.

We use a wide variety of Ayurvedic herbal oils in our treatments for pain and injuries. These oils help to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation. They help strengthen and rejuvenate muscles, joints and soft tissue. These oils can be used on painful or injured tissues as well as for massaging the whole body.

The herbal oils used and how to apply them depend on the location, stage, and cause of your condition. Choosing the correct oil is vital to the effectiveness of traditional Ayurvedic treatments.

Benefits of our specialised herbal oils when used in our treatments include:
  • Relieves pain and stiffness
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling
  • Increases flexibility, counteracting rigidity of the joints and muscles
  • Nourishes the deeper tissues of your body
  • Promotes circulation
  • Strengthens and rejuvenates joints, muscles and soft tissue.
ayurvedic massage oil
The application of warm herbalised oil plays a major role in Ayurvedic treatment. Herbal oil is used as a transport mechanism to carry herbs into the deeper tissues. When warm herbal oils are applied during treatment, the skin’s pores open, allowing the herbal properties of the oils to penetrate more deeply into the tissues. In Ayurvedic tradition, herbs used in this way are believed to help the body release impurities and support overall balance.

Ayurvedic herbal oils are made by cooking selected herbs in a base oil, like black sesame or coconut oil. It is the particular combination of herbs used and their ratio that determines the specific actions of the herbal oil.
