In Ayurveda Kapha imbalances (grief, allergies, attachment,
sluggish nature, moodiness, excess weight) is pacified with
Garshana, a dry herbal massage. Performing a dry friction massage with this dry herbal powder is also a wonderful way to detoxify, renew skin cell production, and clean pores of debris.
Dry friction massage is stimulating to the senses, helps 
with depression, strengthens the heart and aids immune function by increasing lymphatic flow. Massaging chest area and sniffing a small amount greatly reduces allergies.
