Massage
“The body of one who uses massage regularly does not become affected much even if subjected to accidental injuries or strenuous work. By using massage regularly, a person is endowed with pleasant touch, trimmed body parts, and becomes strong, charming, and least affected by old age”.
Charak Samhita Vol.1, V:88-89
