### How It Works (Mechanisms)

Continuous Acupressure & Reflexology: Holding the hinged support/peg between the toes and walking on the acupressure points applies natural pressure, activating key reflexology and nerve points corresponding to different organs.

Ayurvedic *Marma* Point Activation: Soles of the feet contain vital bio-energy junctions (*Marma* points); applying pressure helps balance body energy (*Prana*).

Natural Thermal Insulation: Being made of natural wood it acts as an insulator, protecting the body from losing heat through cold floors.

Recommended Usage

*Duration:* Ideally used for **5 to 10 minutes** both in the morning and evening.

*Initial Experience:* It is normal to experience mild initial pain during the first few days of usage due to the pokey acupressure points the discomfort typically decreases after 3 to 4 days.

Suitability Safe and recommended for all age groups, from children to the elderly/grandparents.
