How Sthanik Abhyanga Works in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, pain and stiffness in certain areas are often linked to an aggravated Vata dosha, poor circulation, or dryness in the tissues. Sthanik Abhyanga brings warmth and herbal oils right to the problem area, helping to balance Vata, relax muscles, improve circulation, and ease discomfort.
