The Ayurvedic Difference
Ayurveda is the traditional healing system that originated in India and places high importance on feet, as feet are considered a reflection of our health. They are connected to various organs and systems in the body through energy pathways, or “nadis.” Therefore, taking care of our feet can have a profound impact on our physical and emotional health.
There are107 Marma Points of Ayurveda in the body, 5 vital points are found in each foot. These Marma points are gateways to the subconscious and psychological cleansing effect when stimulated.
Similar to Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda holds the belief that stimulating certain points on the feet can directly affect organs that are associated with those points.
