Types of Oils to Use

What types of oil you use for abhyanga depends on your Dosha type:

Vatas: Use a warming oil like sesame, which is considered the queen of oils. Be sure the oil is organic and untoasted. Almond oil is another good option because it’s also warming. You could purchase herb-infused oils that have Vata-pacifying herbs within them as well.

Pittas: Use cooling oils, particularly coconut oil, which cools the body temperature and also heals redness and acne. Sunflower oil is also recommended for Pittas. You don’t need to heat the oil.

Kaphas: Use warming oils, such as sesame or almond. Olive and corn oil are also good choices. You don’t need as much oil as Vatas and Pittas.
