New York, December 20, 2025 – In a long-awaited disclosure mandated by legislation signed by President Donald Trump last month, the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday unveiled thousands of files tied to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including peculiar references to "massage techniques" rooted in India's ancient Ayurvedic tradition for detoxification purposes.
The release, comprising an initial tranche of approximately 4,000 documents and photographs seized from Epstein's properties in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands, offers fresh glimpses into the disgraced mogul's world but stops short of delivering bombshell revelations about his high-profile associates. Among the materials are call logs, court records, and images previously shared in congressional probes, alongside a fully redacted list of 254 masseuses linked to Epstein's operations. The department's review identified over 1,200 victims and relatives, underscoring the scale of Epstein's alleged sex-trafficking network that preyed on underage girls.
Tucked within these exhibits are documents extolling the virtues of Ayurvedic practices—India's 5,000-year-old system of holistic medicine—for wellness and detox. One file describes how "many practitioners in the West are now offering massage and other treatments based upon this 5,000-year-old system of natural healing from India," highlighting its adoption in modern therapeutic settings. Another included article, titled "The Art of Giving Massage," delves into techniques using sesame oil for detoxification, framing them as part of a broader cultural exchange of wellness methods from the subcontinent. While the precise origin of these materials in Epstein's possession remains unclear—potentially seized from his private libraries or spas—the references stand out as an esoteric footnote in a dossier dominated by legal and evidentiary artifacts.
The disclosure has reignited bipartisan scrutiny, with Democrats pressing for fuller transparency on Epstein's ties to influential figures. Photographs in the files show former President Bill Clinton posing aboard Epstein's private jet and Epstein alongside the late pop star Michael Jackson, though neither has faced accusations of misconduct in the scandal. A handful of images feature Trump, but the release acknowledges its incompleteness, with the DOJ citing ongoing reviews for sensitive content.
Epstein, who died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, built a web of connections with politicians, celebrities, and business tycoons that fueled conspiracy theories for years. His associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of procuring underage girls for him and remains imprisoned. Friday's batch, while shedding light on Ayurveda's unlikely cameo, primarily recycles previously public information, leaving many to question whether the full archive will ever surface amid political sensitivities.
Experts on Ayurvedic medicine, speaking to international outlets, emphasized that such references likely reflect Epstein's interest in alternative therapies rather than any sinister application, given the practice's global popularity for stress relief and detox unrelated to his crimes. As the DOJ prepares additional releases, the files serve as a reminder of Epstein's enduring shadow over American elite circles—and the occasional detour into ancient wisdom from afar.
