you how to get some more tips on the essential oils for your unique Dosha that you can use with this technique as well so I have to tell you I was super resistant to this at first I understand if you're gonna think I'm crazy in the next few minutes I first learned about ayurvedic bow massage in the ayurvedic lifestyle training that I was taking is it is part of the key daily habits of the deepest cardiac it's called and I admit it took me a long time to even try this I was like what so learn from my mistake on this one don't take so long because it is definitely worth a try once I fell it once I tried it I simply fell in love it's one of those things you wished you'd started sooner I used to have these incredibly dry flaky legs like nothing worked um you could put moisturizer on them all day long and they were out they were still dry right nothing could touch it but once I started doing this oil massage technique my dry flaky legs are gone I don't use so it's moisturizer at all anymore I don't need it and I live in a really really dry climate so that's saying a lot right okay post below are you already an Aviano fan or are you going to give this one a try all right you want to hear your thoughts before we go into the details so put that down below and now let's dive in so what is Avion back massage basically it's the process of massaging and cleansing your skin daily with oil I know sounds weird but it involves this really light Touch Massage which helps to release the toxins and it soothes the lymphatic system and the nervous system okay it's incredibly grounding it helps you to release any anxious feelings and help you feel connected to your body it boosts your immune system naturally through that stimulation of the lymphatic system and it also this on all of this gets Amplified when you add essential oils into your Avianca oil okay so you can receive an Avianca massage from a practitioner which is an amazing treat highly recommend that if you get the chance but you can also do this at home every day right and get even more benefits without long-term exposure from them so I'm going to share an at-home right with you at the end but now what happens when you massage with them okay so the practice of using soap and body wash on your skin when you take your shower um when you do that daily it strips your body of its natural desensitive okay and it could be contributing to you catching that next cold or flu that should come into contact with basically you're stripping away your protective layer so the ayurvedic practice of Avianca or daily oil massage instead strengthens your body's immune system just as Naturally by supporting that natural oil layer on your skin makes sense right this is your first level of Defense so the oil also cleanses the skin by repelling the dirt so it pulls the dirt out and draws out toxins from your Skin's surface so instead of lathering up with soap in the shower give your body an Avianca massage before you get in the shower and then you rinse off that excess oil with a washcloth and then after you towel yourself off you've just had you just given yourself three points of loving touch right so this is an incredibly relaxing self-care ritual and helps you connect to yourself and just notice what's going on with your with your body right the loving touch feels so good to feel grounded in your body and to reduce stress naturally just so those few minutes of being present with your body plus that light lymphatic massage that leads you with the technique feels so good right so you can check out all the ayurvedic bone massage benefits in this video um listed about as a separate thing because there is a lot okay another cue I often get asked about this is what is the best time for Avianca right the daily self-care ritual can be done either in the morning or in the evening right there's no magic glue on this the Avianca massage technique is slightly different with more energizing movements in the morning and relaxing flow in the evening and for my clients I create a separate Avianca oil recipe or daytime and evening using energizing essential oils in the daytime and essential oils for Sleep later in the day plus some oils are photosensitive so you want to keep that in mind as well for your data input and of course what oil should I use for a full body massage right your base massage oil along with the essential oils that you add depend on your dough shop right so for Simplicity you can start with an organic avocado oil which works great for all of the doshas and I've put together a kit of essential oil blends that balance all three doshasa and the seasons right so the link for that is in the description so it's a super easy way to get started with this I'm going
