How do oil massage, and what are the benefits?

Natural medicine scientist Dr. Vandana Siva has said that Neem has been used since ancient times in Eastern culture through the book 'Neem'. It is found from various evidences that our ancestors were familiar with treatment methods like neem, herbs like peppermint and oil massage used in naturopathic medicine hundreds of years ago. He is worried that it is slowly disappearing now.

Oil massage is also a multi-purpose method among naturopathy. Classical facts also mention that massaging the body with oil has many benefits. Until now, it is customary to massage the baby with oil three times a day until 6 months after birth.

By doing this, it is believed that the bones and muscles of the baby will be strengthened, it will contribute to the growth and development of the child, the digestive power will increase, skin diseases will not be caused and it is believed that the child will sleep peacefully. Nowadays, it is less common to feed children with oil heated in the sun. But even in the urban areas, there is a trend of massaging with olive oil and baby lotion. But the practice of massaging as mentioned in natural medicine seems to be disappearing.

Dr. Deepa Poudel says that oil massage is effective in relaxing muscles and reducing muscle pain. She tells that even naturopaths use oil massage after looking at the patient's condition.

Oil massage is effective for any age group and its process is also the same. But while massaging oil on children and the elderly, it must be sensitive to their bones. In general, oil can be massaged at any time during cold and hot seasons. But many people use more oil massage in summer.
