Ayurveda is the 5,000 year old healing system of India which does not separate body, mind and soul. Healing herbs are used to produce therapeutic oils used for a variety of purposes.  A wonderful morning routine is Abhyanga, or self-massage.  It gets the blood flowing as the herbed oils nourish and hydrate the skin.  A tiny quarter-sized amount in the palm of your hand is enough for each of the body sections: legs, arms, belly and chest, back.
 
It is best to use the oil that matches your dosha, or "type" see our Ayurvedic section for our dosha quiz.  Indicate which oil you'd like:  Pitta, Vata or Kapha.
