Padabhyanga is an ancient Ayurvedic foot massage therapy that focuses on relaxing the feet, improving circulation, and balancing the doshas.
Benefits
Benefits: Padabhyanga helps in relieving foot pain, fatigue, and stress. It improves blood circulation to the feet and lower limbs, promoting overall relaxation and well-being. This therapy also enhances sleep quality, reduces swelling, and nourishes the skin of the feet.
Procedure: The treatment begins with the patient comfortably seated or lying down. Warm herbal oils or ghee, chosen based on individual dosha and foot condition, are applied to the feet. The therapist then performs a series of gentle massage techniques, including kneading, rubbing, and applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet. These techniques stimulate nerve endings and energy pathways (nadis) associated with various organs and systems of the body.
