Paadabhyanga

Padabhyanga refers to Ayurvedic foot massage using herbal oil. It stimulates some special points on the feet that lead to mental relaxation. Padabhyanga is very commonly used as precursor to some of the important Ayurvedic therapies.

The feet are massaged in a synchronous way, from the ankle, the toes up to the soles, with a focus on certain pressure points and Marmas. Techniques like kneading, stroking, pulling and friction are employed in this therapy. You will be prescribed a particular oil depending on your condition.
