Herbs are frequently added to the oil beforehand to treat particular conditions. Sesame is traditionally the base oil, but Ayurveda professionals base the oil section on the Dosha type, thus herb oils like Ashwagandha oil, Mahanarayan oil, Bhringaraj oil, Brahmi oil, and Neem oil can be used.
Abhyanga can be performed as a stand-alone therapy or as a component of the Panchakarma therapy steps.
It is frequently followed with Svedana therapy or a hot bath. Abhyanga can be carried out by one or more therapists working together or by an individual.

Kashayaseka
The proper execution of this deep balancing therapy requires the involvement of several therapists and follows a complex process..The rejuvenating Kashayaseka therapy is offered just after an Abhyanga massage. While the body is being massaged, a warm herbal decoction is flowing over it in delicate rivulets.
This therapy has lasting effects and is very mild and calming. Varicose veins are treated, along with inflammation, pain from the body, rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis, and deep nervous system relaxation. As a skin anti-aging treatment, it also enhances circulation and skin tone. Additionally, it is recognised to eliminate excess Vata and Kapha buildup.
Kashayadhara
Kashayam and dhara both mean “continuous pouring,” respectively.The herbal decoction is applied to the entire body or a specific area during this treatment. The decoction is chosen based on your medical condition.
The medicine in the decoction comes into touch with the skin and penetrates the skin pores, soothing the mind and inducing sleep. The pharmacological effects of the medications and the temperature that is maintained throughout the course of treatment serve as a counter irritant, a thermal stimulation that may modify pain and itching sensations.
This treatment can be used to treat neurological illnesses, muscle pain, inflammation, and skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis depending on the herbs chosen to make the decoction.
