What Are the Benefits of Kizhi Therapy in Ayurveda for Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation? - #13369
I’ve been exploring Kizhi therapy in Ayurveda, which uses herbal poultices (Potlis) filled with medicinal herbs, rice, and oils to apply gentle heat and relieve pain. Kizhi therapy is said to be very effective for muscle relaxation, joint pain relief, and improving circulation. I am curious about the specific benefits of Kizhi and how it can help with chronic pain or post-injury recovery. Some types of Kizhi therapy include Podi Kizhi (powder poultice for muscle relaxation), Ela Kizhi (herbal leaf poultice for joint pain), and Njavara Kizhi (rice poultice for nourishing and soothing the body). I want to understand how effective this therapy is for long-term pain management and whether it helps in promoting overall healing and flexibility. If anyone has undergone Kizhi therapy, please share your experience. Did it help with reducing pain, improving mobility, or enhancing skin health? How long did the treatment take to show visible results, and were there any lifestyle or dietary modifications recommended alongside the therapy?
