Put Oil on the Soles of Your Feet: An Ancient Practice with Surprising Benefits
2. Oil Absorption: Your Skin Is a Gateway
The skin on the soles of your feet is thicker and less hairy, making it highly effective at absorbing oils — especially warm ones.
Common oils used:
- Sesame oil – Warming, detoxifying, rich in antioxidants
- Coconut oil – Cooling, antimicrobial, deeply nourishing
- Mustard oil – Stimulates circulation (used in colder climates)
- Brahmi or Ashwagandha-infused oils – For mental clarity and stress relief
These oils penetrate deeply, delivering therapeutic benefits throughout the body.
