What Are the Benefits of Potli Therapy in Ayurveda, and How Does It Work? - #13049
I have been dealing with joint pain, stiffness, and muscle tension, and I recently came across Potli therapy, which is an Ayurvedic treatment that involves applying warm herbal poultices to affected areas. I want to understand how this therapy works and whether it provides long-term relief for chronic pain. I read that Potli therapy uses medicinal herbs wrapped in a cloth and dipped in warm oil before being massaged onto the body. But does this treatment work for conditions like arthritis, frozen shoulder, or sciatica? Also, are there different types of Potli therapy, such as dry heat versus oil-based therapy, and which one is best for deep pain relief? If anyone has tried Potli therapy, please share your experience. Did it help with pain management, and how many sessions were required for noticeable improvement? Also, is it better to get this therapy done at an Ayurvedic center, or can it be done at home with the right guidance?
