Daily infant abhyanga is one of Ayurveda’s most cherished rituals. Learn how it supports growth, digestion, and sleep.
Why Baby Massage Matters
Abhyanga is more than bonding — it supports nervous system development, digestion, circulation, and emotional security. Ayurveda recommends gentle daily massage as a stabilizing ritual for infants.
Choosing the Right Oil
- Coconut oil: Cooling and ideal for warm climates.
- Sesame oil: Warming and grounding for cooler months.
- Brahmi & calendula: Mild herbs that soothe and protect delicate skin.
How to Perform Infant Abhyanga
- Warm the oil lightly.
- Use soft strokes along arms and legs.
- Massage tummy clockwise to support digestion.
- Keep the room warm and comfortable.
Safety Essentials
Patch-test every new oil. Avoid scented oils or strong herbs. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing any herbal products for newborns.
