'Feet Kept Warm, Head Kept Cool': The Golden Verse
Agathiyar famously proclaimed: 'கால்களை வெதுவெதுப்பாகவும், தலையைக் குளிர்ச்சியாகவும் வைத்திருப்பவனே நோயற்ற வாழ்வைப் பெறுவான்' (He who keeps his feet warm and his head cool enjoys a life free of disease). In modern physiology, this describes ideal autonomic vascular regulation.
The Foot as the Mirror of the Three Humors (Mukkutram)
