The Foot Ritual Set

The Evening Ritual: A Step-by-Step Guide

Best practiced in the evening, 1–2 times per week for the full ritual. The Nourish, Enhance, and Restore steps may be performed nightly as part of an ongoing moisturizing routine.

Preparation & Safety

Safety Warning: Ghee and oils may create a slippery surface. Use caution when walking after application. Keep a pair of cotton socks nearby to wear once the ritual is complete.

Setting the Scene: Ensure your space is calm. Have a towel, a small bowl for mixing the mask, and your Kansa wand ready before you begin.

Step 1: Soften Foot Soak

1. Fill a basin with 1–2 gallons of warm water.
2. Dissolve 2–3 tablespoons of the foot soak into the water.
3. Temperature Check: Before submerging, test the water with your wrist; it should be comfortably warm, never hot.
4. Relax and soak your feet for 15–20 minutes. This helps soften rough-feeling areas and prepares the skin for the next steps in the ritual.

Step 2: Purify Foot Mask

1. In a small bowl, mix a teaspoon of the mask powder with enough water or rose water to reach the consistency of Greek yogurt.
2. Apply a generous, even layer over the entire foot, paying extra attention to dry-looking areas.
3. Allow the mask to dry for 10–15 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

• Note: When using Kasturi Manjal (wild turmeric), a golden tint on the skin is expected and natural; it will fade within a few hours.

Step 3: Nourish Navel & Foot Ghee

1. Navel Application: Take a small amount of ghee (half a pearl-sized amount) and massage it in a gentle, clockwise circular motion into your navel. This is a traditional Ayurvedic self-care practice.
2. Foot Application: Apply a small amount of ghee to the soles of your feet. Using your hands, massage the arches, heels, and balls of the feet using firm, upward strokes toward the ankle.

Step 4: Kansa Wand Massage

1. Ensure your feet have a light layer of ghee or balm to act as a lubricant for the wand.
2. Using the Kansa wand, perform circular motions or long, sweeping strokes along the sole of the foot.
3. Technique: Spend 5–10 minutes per foot. You may notice the metal causing the ghee or oil to darken slightly during use. This is a normal cosmetic reaction that can occur with the interaction between the metal, oils, and the skin's surface.
4. Cleanup: Once finished, wipe your feet with a damp cloth and clean your wand with a soft cloth before returning it to the provided jute bag.

Step 5: Restore Foot Cream

1. Apply a thin layer of the Restore Foot Cream over your feet.
2. Massage until the cream is fully absorbed.
3. Pro Tip: Because this step acts as a moisture-sealing layer, apply it after your ghee application to help maintain skin hydration.

Final Step: Once the product has settled into the skin, put on a pair of clean, breathable cotton socks. This helps protect bedding and supports overnight moisturization.The Evening Ritual: A Step-by-Step Guide

Best practiced in the evening, 1–2 times per week for the full ritual. The Nourish, Enhance, and Restore steps may be performed nightly for ongoing hydration.

Preparation & Safety

Safety Warning: Ghee and oils create a significant slip hazard. Do not walk barefoot on hard floors after application. Keep a pair of cotton socks nearby to wear once the ritual is complete.

Setting the Scene: Ensure your space is calm. Have a towel, a small bowl for mixing the mask, and your Kansa wand ready before you begin.

Step 1: Soften Foot Soak

1. Fill a basin with 1–2 gallons of warm water.
2. Dissolve 2–3 tablespoons of the foot soak into the water.
3. Temperature Check: Before submerging, test the water with your wrist; it should be comfortably warm, never hot.
4. Relax and soak your feet for 15–20 minutes. This softens calluses and prepares the skin to absorb the subsequent nutrients.

Step 2: Purify Foot Mask

1. In a small bowl, mix a teaspoon of the mask powder with enough water or rose water to reach the consistency of Greek yogurt.
2. Apply a generous, even layer over the entire foot, paying extra attention to the heels and calloused areas.
3. Allow the mask to dry for 10–15 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

• Note: When using Kasturi Manjal (wild turmeric), a golden tint on the skin is expected and natural; it will fade within a few hours.

Step 3: Nourish Navel & Foot Ghee

1. Navel Application: Take a small amount of ghee (half a pearl-sized amount) and massage it in a gentle, clockwise circular motion into your navel. This is a traditional practice to promote systemic grounding.
2. Foot Application: Apply a small amount of ghee to the soles of your feet. Using your hands, massage the arches, heels, and balls of the feet using firm, upward strokes toward the ankle.

Step 4: Kansa Wand Massage

1. Ensure your feet have a light layer of ghee or balm to act as a lubricant for the wand.
2. Using the Kansa wand, perform circular motions or long, sweeping strokes along the sole of the foot.
3. Technique: Spend 5–10 minutes per foot. You may notice the metal causing the ghee/oil to turn a grayish color; this is a normal reaction indicating the "drawing out" of toxins and acidity from the skin.
4. Cleanup: Once finished, wipe your feet with a damp cloth and clean your wand with a soft cloth before returning it to the provided jute bag.

Step 5: Restore Foot Cream

1. Apply a thin layer of the Restore Foot Cream over your feet.
2. Massage deeply until the cream is fully absorbed.
3. Pro Tip: Because this step acts as a "sealant," apply it after your ghee application to lock in all the previous moisture.
4. Final Step: Once the product has settled into the skin, put on a pair of clean, breathable cotton socks. This prevents staining your bedding, keeps your feet warm, and continues the hydration process while you sleep.
