IMPORTANCE OF WEARING FOOTWEAR FOR HEALTHY LIVING: AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Recently, the human foot is increasingly being studied as a multi-segmental structure with complex three-dimensional kinematics. In Ayurveda the ancient Acharyas considering the importance of foot have specially emphasized about foot care. Comfortable, properly fitted footwear is essential in maintaining good health. Wearing footwear is recommended mainly to protect the foot and to avoid any injury to Marma or vital points situated there. It is very important that the selection of footwear should be based on the comforts and natural structure of the foot and not on the fashion and styles especially for those who need to be on their foot for long period. The present review gives a comprehensive idea about the importance of Padatra Dharana (wearing footwear) for healthy living from Ayurvedic perspective.
