Padabhyanga: The Importance of a Daily Practice

Abstract

  The goal of Ayurveda was to promote and restore both mental and physical well-being. An important notion
in Ayurveda that contributes to this goal is Dinacharya. The practice of incorporating a revitalizing method
into a foot massage is known as Padabhyanga. In the Ayurvedic canon, this is described as a preventative
concept. Many people have eye difficulties as a result of their fast-paced, computer-dependent lifestyle, poor
dietary habits, stress, insomnia, and lack of adherence to daily and seasonal routines. The symptoms of Bala,
Sthairya, and Pada—as well as Kharatwa, Stabdata, Rukshata, Shrama, and Suptata—were alleviated via the
practice of Drustiprasaadakara. This also stops Sirasnaayu sankocha, Grudrasi vaata, and Pada sputana.
