Padabhayanga, also known as foot massage or pada abhyanga, is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy involving the massage of the feet. In Sanskrit, “pada” means foot, and “abhyanga” means massage with oil. This therapeutic practice aims to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and balance the doshas, in the body according to Ayurvedic principles.

Warm herbal oils are typically used during the massage, focusing on specific pressure points and channels to stimulate circulation and release tension. The circular motions and gentle strokes applied during the massage help alleviate stress, enhance mental clarity, and rejuvenate the entire body.

Padabhayanga is known to benefit from various ailments such as insomnia, fatigue, headaches, anxiety, and foot-related issues like plantar fasciitis or foot pain. Sessions usually last between 15 to 30 minutes, and the frequency can vary depending on individual needs and preferences. While Padabhayanga can be performed at home with proper techniques and oils, consulting with an Ayurveda doctor and learning from a trained therapist or practitioner is advisable to ensure safety and effectiveness, especially for individuals with medical conditions or specific foot problems. At Apollo AyurVAID, our trained Ayurvedic doctors and therapists ensure this traditional practice’s safe and effective application.
