Pre-procedure

The Ayurveda physician examines your condition thoroughly during this phase of preparation and prescribes not only padabhyangam but also the precise oil-based mixture that the therapist must utilise. Based on the type of disease and the intended result, the therapist produces the oil composition. Selecting the appropriate kind and quantity of medicine and oil is essential for a successful padabhyangam treatment. 

Actual procedure

This is the main technique, where the therapist massages the patient's feet, soles, heels, ankles, and knees with an oil formulation. Each foot receives a 20-minute massage from the therapist using a variety of techniques. To increase circulation and stimulate free energy flow across the feet, one method involves using the hand to stroke, massage, or even rub the feet.

The therapist then uses hot water or a salt water dip to eliminate any remaining residual oil.

Due to its enormous advantages padabhyang is popular among the other non- medical centres as well like spa. However, it is better to get it done from a medical professional. Before beginning the process, please get advice from an Ayurvedic physician because every health condition calls for a particular oil-based composition and therapeutic method.
