Your feet carry you throughout your lifetime. So caring for your feet is very important and often neglected, unless of course there is an injury or disease. Ayurvedic foot care goes beyond cosmetic purposes. In Indian custom, tradition and medicine, the feet have been given utmost importance.
According to Vagbhata, the author of the classical Ayurvedic text Ashtanga Hridayam, the human body is an upside down tree wherein the roots are located at the top and the branches are pointing downwards.1The feet are the branches that keep us connected to nature.
