Ayurveda and Your Nervous System

Posted by Osi Mizrahi on

I came into Ayurveda, the “science of life,” when I was in my late twenties. I discovered Abyhanga, which are body oil treatments that are performed by two practitioners at the same time. The treatments are prescribed by an Ayurveda doctor, called a Vadya. During the massages, I was being treated so gently, I felt as if I had returned to a state of infancy.

The practice is done in silence, with very gentle warm oil movements from the periphery to the core center. The treatment is so potent that afterwards, I felt my body, mind and soul were integrated, I was in tune with my emotional life and I felt whole.

A few days later, my mind was more settled and a feeling of creativity arose in me. The effects of the treatment had quieted my mind and helped my body relax. After a full week of 3 body treatments a day, my mind reached a stillness, where I could actually hear a new voice – a voice of knowledge and wisdom. I could also feel the strength of my nervous system building and the past stress and trauma of my physical body diminishing. I knew it was a combination of the warm sesame oil and the silence.

After seeing such amazing results, I came home and brought the learning with me. I love bringing what I experience into my home, and in this case, it felt like India was now my home within. I practice the treatment 3 times a week. I use sesame, almond or coconut oil, warm it and pour a nice amount from my feet to my belly and then from my hands to my belly. I even massage the oil into my hair and scalp. I then put on warm clothing and fall into a peaceful sleep, where I have fantastic dreams. I wake up every day with a clean slate and a great amount of energy, all from practicing self-love.

Enjoy.

A daily self-massage with Flow Belly Oil helps support healthy digestion, absorption, and assimilation, promote post-meal intestinal comfort and stimulate a healthy and balanced appetite. It also helps support women’s reproductive system health and hormone balance.

In Ayurveda, strong digestion is central to any Ayurvedic wellness program. Occasional gas, bloating, and post-meal intestinal discomfort are signs from the body that are often overlooked, but a weak digestive fire can lead to lack of nourishment and vigor. Proper digestion, absorption, and assimilation are needed to supply the body with the energy it takes to heal and function properly.

Balancing for all doshas.
