What Is Ayurvedic Kizhi Treatment? How Does It Help with Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation? - #13393

Anonymously

I’ve been researching Ayurvedic Kizhi treatment, which uses herbal poultices (called Potlis) to provide relief for joint pain, muscle stiffness, and inflammation. I’m interested in how Kizhi therapy can help with conditions like arthritis, lower back pain, and sports injuries. The therapy involves hot herbal poultices filled with medicinal herbs, rice, and other natural substances, which are applied to the affected area to reduce pain, increase blood circulation, and promote healing. I’ve heard that Podi Kizhi (powder poultice), Ela Kizhi (herbal leaf poultice), and Njavara Kizhi (rice poultice) are the common types of Kizhi therapy. I’m curious to know how effective these treatments are for long-term pain management and whether they provide lasting relief from muscle soreness and joint stiffness. If anyone has experienced Ayurvedic Kizhi treatment, please share your experience. How did it help with reducing pain, improving mobility, or relieving muscle tension? How many sessions did you need to see significant results, and did the treatment also include any lifestyle or dietary changes to complement the healing process?

Doctors’ responses

Kizhi treatment in Ayurveda is highly regarded for its effectiveness in managing pain, inflammation, and stiffness, particularly in conditions like arthritis, lower back pain, and sports injuries. This therapy uses heated herbal poultices (Potlis) filled with medicinal herbs, rice, or powders, which are applied to affected areas using rhythmic massage techniques. The heat and medicinal properties of the ingredients penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting better circulation, relieving muscle tension, and reducing stiffness. Among the different types of Kizhi treatments, Podi Kizhi (powder poultice) is commonly used for pain relief and detoxification, Ela Kizhi (leaf poultice) is beneficial for reducing joint inflammation, and Njavara Kizhi (rice poultice) is ideal for rejuvenation and strengthening muscles. Many people experience relief after just a few sessions, though chronic conditions may require a longer treatment plan.
