Gently massage a small amount of room temperature or warmed oil onto your body, beginning at the ears and neck and moving toward your heart. Use circular motions around the joints and long, sweeping strokes along the muscles. You can also apply the oil to your scalp and face—unless you're using one of Ahimsa's Face Oils for facial massage.

For the ultimate at-home retreat, pair our Nourishing Body & Massage Oil with Ahimsa's deeply soothing, Coconut Milk Bath Soak to nourish both body and mind.

This product is suited for dry skin (VATA), offering a blend of nourishing ingredients to help support skin’s natural balance. The combination of Rose, Chamomile, and Tulsi works together to provide a soothing experience, making it a great option for those looking for a gentle and hydrating addition to their routine. Whether you're seeking hydration or simply enjoy a comforting, calming experience, this product provides a harmonious blend that complements most skin types and preferences. The carrier oils of Sesame and Almond are on the heavier side than our other oils. So probably would not suit Kapha types.
