I recently had a diabetic patient who told me about how they use Abhyanga oil on their feet to promote blood circulation. I have never heard of this before and was wondering if any one could shed some light on its MOA?
thanks :)

Hi Sarah,

:welcome: to the Arena!

Quick shifty at my daughters` "holistic treatments" bible;

"Abhyanga is the Sanskrit (ancient Indo-Aryan) word for an oil massage given to the entire body. It is most commonly performed with sesame oil".

Hope that helps!
