Daily massage plan
The ideal early morning (5-6am) routine includes:
- Drinking hot water
- Emptying bowels/bladder
- Cleaning teeth/scraping tongue
- Skin brushing (u pward strok es)
- Massaging the body with sesame oil and the head with coconut oil (can be after shower/bath)
- T a k i n g a shower/bath (with warm water and a vegetable-based soap)
However, if time is limited or you’d like some variation on this routine a massage plan that runs over the course
of one week is suggested below. This can be adapted to your needs and varied each week. Massaging after your
bath or shower is also acceptable if it is m o r e c o n v e n i en t o r p r e f e r a b l e. If you massage after your shower make
sure you use a special towel to take off excess oil. This towel will need to be boil-washed to remove all the oil.

You may also gargle and massage inside of nostrils with sesame oil as this helps combat colds/flu and other
viral/bacterial infections. Please note: Tongue scraping should be done with a steel, silver or gold tongue-
scraper – four or five runs gently over the tongue should be enough to remove any ama (undigested
food/bacteria). This procedure helps improve digestion, freshens the breath and removes impurities from the
body.
