What is Pada Abhyanga?

Before learning about pada abhyanga, what is abhyanga?

Abhyanga is the Sanskrit term for ‘massage’. Abhyanga has been included in the form of treatment for various diseases.

Abhyanga is pivotal and so it is even included as a part of dinacharya, ie, daily regiments. Now coming to pada abhyanga, specifically implies a foot massage.

Padabhyanga is a process of foot massage that can be done using oil or powder, according to the patient and the disease condition.

How can this procedure cure ailments?

Massage requires us to manually rub the patient’s body either using oil or just doing it with our bare hands. Therefore, Abhyanga stimulates tactile sensations and enhances blood circulation, and stimulates the brain to relax the stiff muscles and reduce rigidity and bring about desired actions.

This way, locomotory issues are resolved.

For the purpose of pada abhyanga, we first ask the patient to lie in a supine position. The medicated oil is chosen and

poured over the foot. The foot is entirely massaged, giving each groove appropriate attention. Every ridge, every angle, and every groove is attentively massaged with perfection.

After the prescribed time, the foot is wiped.
