Padaabhyanga Ayurvedic Foot Massage

Padaabhyanga

Padaabhyanga is a deeply relaxing Ayurvedic foot massage that nourishes the nervous system, enhances circulation, and promotes overall well-being. This therapy helps relieve stress, improve sleep, and balance the body’s energy flow.

Ayurvedic Philosophy

Padaabhyanga is derived from two Sanskrit words: “Pada” (foot) and “Abhyanga” (massage). This therapy involves massaging the feet with warm medicated oils using gentle yet firm strokes, stimulating vital energy points (Marma points) and improving overall health.

The choice of medicated oils varies based on an individual’s body constitution and health condition, commonly including:

Ksheerabala Tailam – Nourishes nerves and relieves fatigue.
Mahanarayan Tailam – Soothes muscle stiffness and joint pain.
Bala Tailam – Strengthens leg muscles and supports mobility.
Dhanwantharam Tailam – Improves circulation and nerve function.
Coconut & Sesame Oil Blend – Provides deep hydration and cooling effects.

Padaabhyanga is particularly effective for balancing Vata and Pitta doshas, reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and improving overall vitality.
