1-Day Ayurveda Foot Massage (Padabhyanga)

1-Day Ayurveda Foot Massage (Padabhyanga) ~ £225

Padabhyanga is a foot massage using the kaash bowl and traditional ghee (or coconut oil as the vegan alternative).  The Kaash Massage Bowls are made of a metal mixture, called kaash, an amalgam of copper, zinc and tin, a unique blend of metals with ayurvedic healing properties. Ghee or coconut oil is used to help balance the energies of the doshas and provide lubrication as well as moisturising the feet.

Like many Ayurvedic treatments, this beautiful foot massage is simple to do and yet incredibly complex in its effects. It brings a great increase in relaxation and wellbeing and promotes balance at the physical level as well as at the energetic. Stimulating the nerves and muscles of the feet helps posture, physical balance and gait which in turn improve our body mechanics.  Foot massage is always a relaxing therapy but the Kaash bowl gives this foot massage a number of added benefits: 

Helps tone the foot muscles, which makes for an incomparable feeling of lightness.  If you have regular massage with the Kaash Bowl your weight will fall evenly and correctly on the soles of the feet, aiding your posture and bringing greater comfort and gracefulness.  You will walk with a lighter step, and feel rejuvenated. 

Helps reduce stress 

Stimulates the marma points and reflexes of the foot

The ghee, balm or oil used  moisturizes the feet, preventing cracking and discomfort

In Ayurvedic thought, the Kaash Bowl massage is said to stimulate the metabolism and have a relaxing effect on the eyes because it balances the energies of the marma points associated with the five senses and reflexes associated with the organ functions

The Kaash Bowl Massage is given which ghee and this has a balancing effect on the Pitta Dosha which means the treatment gives a cooling effect in hot, sunny weather

In winter the Kaash Bowl foot massage is done with warm ghee or oil and helps warm the feet and comfort the whole person
