Shishu Abhyanga

Abhyanga, the traditional Ayurvedic practice of oil massage, is an essential part of newborn care. Childbirth, while a natural process, can introduce considerable stress and strain for both mother and child, leading to an increase in Vata dosha. In Ayurveda, managing aggravated Vata is crucial for the well-being of infants, and Abhyanga is highly effective in achieving this balance.

Traditionally, babies are given an oil bath followed by being wrapped in warm clothing, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable. A balanced Vata dosha is vital for a baby’s proper growth and development.
