The Pitta Massage Oil with Magnesium is an Ayurvedic Abhyanga oil formulated specifically to cool Pitta Dosha, deliver transdermal Magnesium, and nourish the skin with the complexion-enhancing power of Turmeric. In the Shaka Vansiya Ayurvedic tradition, Pitta body types often struggle with oral Magnesium due to heat and bowel sensitivity — making transdermal absorption through a cooling Coconut Oil base the ideal solution for Pitta individuals who need Magnesium support without digestive side effects.
Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation [1-3]. Magnesium is required for energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis. It contributes to the structural development of bone and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and the antioxidant glutathione. Magnesium also plays a role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm [3].

Directions
This massage can be done daily. However, if you don’t have time you can do once or twice a week.
You can put the bottle in the sink in warm water first to warm the oil.
The massage should be done before the shower. Start with the scalp. Apply enough to get into the scalp and moisturize the hair. Lightly massage the scalp with the whole hand (not the fingertips). Then apply the Oil on the face and stroke downwards lightly. Then the neck and shoulders and down the arms. Do clockwise circles on the joints and downward strokes on the long bones. Do not apply to the chest or over the heart. Apply on the stomach in 7 clockwise circles. Apply to the low back and hips, down the legs, knees, calves and feet. You may give extra attention to the ears and the feet as circulation in these areas is less.
If you feel dry in the arms and legs, you may apply a little oil on those areas independently of the above massage.
