What are medicated oils and why are they used in Ayurveda?
Medicated oils are oils infused with medicinal herbs that have been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic clinics. They are used according to your specific needs and dosha imbalance. Warm oil has a penetrating quality that helps the body absorb the substances infused into the oil for health purposes. They are applied in many Ayurvedic Ayurvedic therapies and can also used for self-massage as a part of a daily routine for self-healing (called dinacharya).
