Indian Foot Massage
Prana Padabhyanga
The human foot is truly a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art. In the Vedas, these ‘organs of action’ are celebrated as the body’s foundation, bearing our weight and enabling movement through our environment.
Many spiritual traditions acknowledge that the state of the body and soul is mirrored in the soles of the feet. Reflecting this, the American Podiatric Medical Association notes that “our feet mirror your general health… arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory disorders can show their initial symptoms in the feet”.
Echoing these insights, Ayurvedic expert Dr. Vasant Lad states that Indian foot massage “reduces stress, activates our immune system and even heals our body, mind and consciousness”.
With Padabhyanga, we honor your feet and lower limbs by integrating ancient Ayurvedic practices with therapeutic massage techniques. The treatment begins with a soothing cleanse of the feet and legs, preparing them for a luxuriant massage that includes the toes, feet, ankles, and calves. We use specialised Ayurvedic oils to relax tired feet, enhance joint mobility, and stimulate circulation.
The therapeutic effects are deepened by applying metals such as copper, which reduces pain and inflammation; zinc, which boosts digestive and immune functions; and tin, which aids digestion and alleviates headaches and insomnia.
