What’s with All the Oils in Ayurveda? | Ayurveda Q&A | #AskBanyan

Ayurveda loves oil, and Kendra, Ayurvedic Teacher & Chef, explains why. For one thing, the Sanskrit word for oil is the same as the word for love, “Sneha.” Other reasons to love oil: it’s a superior moisturizer, it draws out impurities from the skin, and (when you’re using an herbal oil) it acts as a carrier to help bring herbs deeper into the tissues!
