Pada Abhyanga at Utpala Ayurdhama
Pada Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic foot massage therapy where medicated oils are applied to the feet in a systematic manner. In Ayurveda, the feet are considered as crucial points for balancing the body’s doshas and maintaining overall health. Through Pada Abhyanga, we focus on stimulating the marma points (vital energy points) on the feet, promoting relaxation and enhancing the overall well-being of the body and mind.
At Utpala Ayurdhama, we offer this highly effective therapy in a serene environment, making it the perfect remedy for stress relief, improving sleep patterns, and revitalizing energy levels.
