Epstein Files: ayurveda and Massage References Spark Attention
Release of Epstein Files
The Epstein files, recently released in the United States, have drawn attention after mentioning India’s ancient medical system, ayurveda, along with certain massage techniques.
These documents were made public by the US Department of Justice on Friday.
The release followed a directive signed last month by US President donald trump, ordering the files to be disclosed within 30 days.
Background of the Case
Jeffrey Epstein was a billionaire financier and convicted sex offender with alleged links to several influential figures across the world.
The case has remained under intense scrutiny due to Epstein’s wealth, global connections, and the serious nature of the charges against him.
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while lodged in a Manhattan jail in New York, where he was awaiting trial.
Mention of ayurveda and Massage
One document in the files refers to the growing popularity of ayurveda, India’s 5,000-year-old traditional healing system, in Western countries.
The documents also mention massage therapies inspired by Ayurvedic practices, highlighting natural treatment methods.
An article cited in the files, titled “The Art of Giving Massage,” talks about the use of sesame oil for relaxation and so-called “detoxification.”
Why the Reference Is Notable
Ayurveda is traditionally associated with holistic health, natural remedies, and lifestyle balance.
Its mention in the Epstein files has attracted attention mainly because of the unexpected cultural and medical reference within documents linked to a major criminal investigation.
Political Sensitivity in the US
The Epstein case is considered politically sensitive, especially in the context of US politics.
The Democratic party had long demanded that all Epstein-related documents be made public.
Epstein was once known to have social interactions with donald trump, though their relationship reportedly deteriorated later.
Who Is Mentioned in the Files
The released documents reportedly include a few photographs of Donald Trump.
There are several photographs of former US President Bill Clinton, and one image showing Epstein with late pop star Michael Jackson.
Importantly, neither trump nor Clinton has been criminally charged or formally accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
Incomplete Disclosure
The US Department of Justice has acknowledged that the released files are not fully complete.
More documents or redactions may still exist, keeping speculation and debate alive.
Ongoing Public Interest
The references to ayurveda and massage, combined with the political and legal dimensions of the case, continue to fuel media coverage and public discussion both in the US and internationally.
