Ayurvedic Foot Massage
The art of Ayurvedic Foot Massage, or Padabhyanga, has its roots in Ayurveda and includes a combination of various massage and Reflexology techniques, Kasa bowl work, and Marma Therapy. Caring for the feet in the Ayurvedic form of foot massage is beneficial to the entire body. An Ayurvedic Foot Massage relaxes the nervous system, balances energy, relieves pain, and increases blood and lymph circulation. It also helps with the detoxification of the body and will also help to bring about an improvement in physical and emotional ailments.
Massaging the feet is akin to massaging the entire body, according to Ayurveda and Reflexology. The use of oils with a Kasa bowl, a small metal bowl, will encourage detoxification and balancing. Various tridoshic oils can be used such as sesame, jojoba, almond, and/or olive. Marma points are worked on to also bring about detoxification, relaxation, and healing.
