Oil bath is a traditional, weekly Ayurvedic home remedy still practiced widely in India.
Shri K. Pattabhi Jois routinely recommends oil bath to his yoga students especially for the relief of back and knee pain as well as stiffness. Weekly oil bath reduces excess internal heat (pitta in Ayurveda) particularly in the joints, liver and skin. This heat is generated by poor lifestyle, including consumption of oily, processed and difficult to digest foods, alcohol and tobacco, in addition to stress, air pollution and inadequate sleep. This imbalance increases with the heat generated by yoga practice and hot climate. Eating an over-sufficiency of healthy foods that are deemed “heating” in Ayurvedic terms, also adds to this imbalance.

And surprisingly, he’s NOT a chiropractor.
Get this:
He's not just dealt with one or two cases, or 100 or 200... he’s helped heal thousands.
Over the last ten years, he’s developed a program where ANYONE can start relieving their own back pain in the next 30 minutes.
