Ayurvedic Pada Abhyanga Foot
Massage
Ayurvedic Foot Massage is a deeply relaxing treatment that works
holistically by assisting to stabilize the body and mind. Ayurvedic
Foot Massage has been in existence in India for centuries and works on
the feet and lower limbs. The feet are known to be the seat of the
meridians with many nerve endings, neural receptors and Marma.
Reflexology, which targets the 'reflex' points, corresponds with the
body’s organs and systems. Ayurvedic Foot Massage gives attention
by manipulating Marma, which is considered as ‘distribution
centres’ in the body where Prana is converted, regulated and
stored for the use of the gross body and mind. In total, there are 108
Marmas throughout the body and several of these are situated on the
legs & feet, stimulating the body's own innate ability to stabilize
and harmonize the Doshas.
Obstruction of Prana’s or Life energy’s correct
distribution, caused by external accidents and injuries and also
psychological disturbances due to passions etc, can be felt in the
Marmas. The Marmas are subtle and invisible but their state can be
understood among other things by means of thought and touch.
