Padabhyanga - foot massage

During our abhyanga massage therapist training we all enjoyed having our feet massaged. One of the best parts.

Padabhyanga, foot massage, has been explained in the classical Ayurvedic texts for its many benefits. Great for calming the mind, improving circulation, grounding energy, relieving tension, promoting sleep and so much more.

Classical texts of Ayurveda say “as a snake doesn’t approach the eagle, so disease doesn’t affect the person who massages his feet before sleeping.” 

The Ashtanga Hridayam (Ayurvedic textbook) explains that the veins of the feet when experiencing pain, can lead to abnormalities in the eyes. The classical texts highly recommended the use of proper footwear, washing of the feet and massage. 

Padabhyanga with Brahmi oil, sesame oil or ghee calms the Vata Dosha and has strengthening effect on Chakshurindriya (sense of sight). 

A beautiful tool to massage your feet’s are our Kasya bowls, they are specifically made to be used for foot massage. We have Kasya bowls available in the shop and online.

Craving a foot massage or one of our oil massages? Bookings are available via our website or by calling 0406 810 547 

Looking forward to welcoming you for a nurturing treatment. Have a beautiful weekend.

With love
