Our body is a temple the foundation of which is the feet. Per ayurveda, rubbing your feet prior to sleeping helps prevent infections by increasing immunity and resistance. An Ayurvedic foot massage (Padabhyanga) can heal, revive, and improve circulation throughout the body.

We are ruled by one of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) that bring about wellbeing in the event they are regulated and ailments if the balance is off. Massaging the feet using Kansa katori as a ritual prior to sleeping keeps doshas in balance, subdues Vata and Kapha, benefitting and improving eyesight.

Ayurvedic foot massages utilize oils and Swedana (perspiration) to unblock Srotras (channels or inner transport system of the body) and accordingly, the whole body and sensory system are influenced. The mind is relaxed & calm improving the body's ability to self heal.

Massaging is a stimulating practice for rejuvenation and holistic wellbeing. It stimulates the nerves and improves blood flow to treat at the dosha level, the root cause of most medical problems.

You’ll sometimes observe grey soot produced after the massage which is the accumulated acids. Kansa wand was designed in Ayurveda to specially aid the lymphatic system. The wand detoxifies by drawing out acidity & balancing the skin’s Ph level. Don’t fret if there’s no grey soot while massaging, it doesn’t mean that the Kansa wand isn’t working and the benefits are still being assimilated.
