What Is Kizhi Therapy in Ayurveda? How Does It Help in Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation? - #13360
I’ve heard a lot about Kizhi therapy in Ayurveda, which uses herbal poultices (Potlis) filled with medicated herbs, powders, and rice that are heated and applied to the body for pain relief and muscle relaxation. I am curious about how effective this therapy is in treating conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and muscle stiffness. Ayurveda believes that Kizhi therapy works by stimulating circulation and enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Some of the most commonly used types of Kizhi include Podi Kizhi (powder poultice for muscle relaxation), Ela Kizhi (herbal leaf poultice for joint pain), and Njavara Kizhi (rice bolus for nourishment and pain relief). I would like to know how long it typically takes to see improvements, and if Kizhi therapy can be used for conditions beyond just pain relief, such as skin rejuvenation or detoxification. If anyone has experienced Kizhi therapy, please share your experience. Did it help with reducing pain, improving joint mobility, or relaxing sore muscles? How many sessions did it take to see noticeable results, and were there any additional therapies suggested by the Ayurvedic practitioner?
