Podikizhi
Service Overview
Podikizhi is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal therapy where warm herbal powders are tied in bundles of cotton cloth (kizhi) and gently massaged over the affected parts or the whole body. It is a combination of therapeutic heat (Swedana) and the therapeutic qualities of herbal powders to treat pain, stiffness, inflammation, and musculoskeletal diseases. This is especially good for rebalancing aggravated Vata dosha. The main ingredients used for the massage therapy are classical Ayurveda herbal powders (Choornam), rock salt, dry ginger, garlic, turmeric, lemon, and medicinal herbal oils.
