Ayurvedic reflexology combines the reflexology practice developed by Eunice Ingham in the early 1950s with traditional Ayurvedic medicine. First developed in 2000 by Australian therapist and educator Dr. Robert Svoboda, student of Ayurveda practitioner Sharon Stathis, it is an art and a science that deals with the principle of reflex areas on the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs, and parts of the body.

​

Foot reflexology is an acupressure method that works on specific nerve endings on your feet that are directly related to all the organs, glands, and other parts of the body. The pressure is slow and gradually deep.

 

Ayurvedic Foot Reflexology is not just a foot massage. It is a treatment that brings physical and mental changes in people suffering from various health issues. Reflexology stimulates the flow of oxygen/prana into the areas with a blockage or stagnant energy, it helps to improve blood circulation and remove any deposit of uric acid from the body. Kansa Vatki ayurvedic foot massage uses a three-metal bowl and a specific oil or a Triphala ghee to rub into your feet. The metal reacts with the skin, removes inflammation, and draws the toxins out of the body. Marma energy points stimulation at the end of the session helps to release stagnant negative emotions, decreases stress and tension, and calms down the mind and emotions. In Ayurveda, it is believed that the mind and eyes have a great relationship with feet, and its massage increases the calmness of the mind and improves eyesight.

WHAT MAKES IT ‘AYURVEDIC’ REFLEXOLOGY?

 

Ayurvedic reflexology is a new therapeutic concept that started developing after year 2000. It has been created by Australian therapist, educator, and Dr. Robert Svoboda student of Ayurveda Sharon Stathis (- link her name to: ayurvedicreflexology.com). It combines traditional Indian foot massage ‘padabhyanga’ with a modern reflexology that was developed by Eunice Ingham in early 1950’. (- link her name to: reflexology-usa.net)

 

Benefits of Reflexology:

• Relieves stress and tension

• Improves blood supply and promotes the unblocking of nerve impulses

• Helps nature achieve normal balanced conditions of the body

 

Padabhyanga:

- Traditional ayurvedic foot massage harmonizes all three doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. It has three stages:

 

1. Foot massage

Warming up the tissues, releasing tension from joints, muscles, and tendons, increasing the flow of energy.\

​

2. Kansu Vataki Massage with 3-metal bowl (kasa)

Copper decreases pain and inflammation, zinc stimulates immunity and digestion, tin improves digestion, and removes headaches and insomnia – makes up a very relaxing treatment. The conductivity of metals reacts with the energy field of the body and harmonizes all three doshas which helps the body to be more efficient

​

3.  Marma massage

Helps to detoxify and rejuvenate the organism, and brings back the energy balance. Marma acupressure therapy is a system of working with 107 prana balancing points that have been used in Ayurvedic healing for more than 5000 years. 5 of the marma points are located on each foot and hand. A simple definition of marma is a connection point where the physical meets the spiritual (prana or breath, vital life force, psychic energy). Prana is the vibrant electromagnetic energy of nature that moves through channels called nadis or meridians. Marma points are the doorways to the 7 Chakras/energy centers. Physically, a marma point is a junction on the body where two or more types of tissue meet, such as bones/asthi, muscles/mamsa, ligaments/snayu, joints/sandhi, and veins/sira.

 

If the marmas functioning normally prana can move freely. If the marma is not functioning properly flow of prana is limited or can be completely stagnant, which leads to various health issues or mental discomfort. It is recommended to stimulate marma points regularly for maintaining optimal health and well-being.
