Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™
2 CE Contact Hours

Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™ has been practiced in India for centuries following the tried and trusted Ayurvedic tradition. At the heart of the treatment is the small, three-metal bowl which helps to rebalance the tri-dosha of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The use of clarified butter, or ghee, is essential. This treatment involves the feet and lower legs with particular emphasis on marma points, Kansa Vatki movements, and simple yet effective massage techniques. A soothing session helps to draw out excess heat leaving the entire body cool, refreshed and relaxed. This treatment is beneficial for everyone and is ideal for all those who spend long hours on their feet.

Some of the many benefits of Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™ are:
  • Relaxes tired feet
  • Improves blood & lymphatic circulation
  • Enhances lower limb mobility
  • Restores levels of Prana (energy)
  • Promotes sound sleep
  • Relieves eyestrain
