The Padabhyanga is a central treatment in Ayurveda that focuses on the knees, calves and feet. The oil is massaged in with stroking and circular movements to work on both the Marma points and foot reflex zones. The Ayurvedic foot massage is particularly recommended for Vata disorders, such as insomnia, stress, inner restlessness and anxiety. The use of a Kaash bowl also has vitalizing properties and achieves a gentle peeling effect thanks to its rough surface.
