News India Live, Digital Desk: Do you not sleep for hours after going to bed at night? Does the day’s fatigue and stress dominate your mind? Or do your eyes get tired while working in front of the computer? If the answer to these questions is ‘yes’, then the solution lies not in your expensive medicines, but in the age-old remedies of our grandmothers.
In Ayurveda, there is a tradition of massaging the soles of the feet with hot oil before sleeping at night, which is called ‘Padabhyanga’. This is such a miraculous habit, which can completely change you physically and mentally.
Why is sole massage so special?
Our feet bear the entire weight of the body throughout the day, but we pay the least attention to them. According to Ayurveda, many important nerves of our body end in the soles of the feet. When you massage these soles, it directly relaxes your mind and other body parts.
Surprising benefits of massaging soles:
- You will get deep and peaceful sleep: If you are troubled by the problem of insomnia, then massage the soles of your feet for just 5 to 10 minutes every night. It calms your nervous system, putting you into deep sleep within a few minutes.
- Stress and anxiety relief: After a day’s hustle and bustle, this massage is no less than therapy. It increases ‘feel-good’ hormones in the body, which reduces problems like stress, nervousness and anxiety.
- Improves eyesight: This may sound strange, but it is true. Some pressure points on the soles of the feet are directly connected to the nerves of our eyes. Massaging them relieves eye fatigue and also improves eyesight.
- Better Blood Circulation: Massaging improves blood flow in the feet, which provides relief from pain, swelling and numbness in the feet.
- Soft and beautiful feet: Regular oil massage eliminates the problem of cracked heels and the feet always remain soft and beautiful.
How and with which oil to do massage?
Mustard oil, sesame oil or coconut oil is considered best for massage. In winter, make the oil slightly lukewarm. Just take a little oil and gently massage the soles, heels and toes of your feet for 5-10 minutes and then wear socks and go to sleep.
So adopt this easy and effective habit from today itself and feel a magical change in your health.
