About Kizhi :
Kizhi is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that involves the application of heated herbal pouches, known as kizhis, to the body to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and rejuvenate the tissues. These pouches are filled with a specific blend of medicinal herbs, rice, sand, or powders, depending on the individual’s condition and the treatment objectives. The kizhis are then heated in warm oils or herbal decoctions and gently tapped or massaged over the body, focusing on the areas of discomfort or disease. This method allows the therapeutic properties of the herbs and the heat to penetrate deeply into the body, promoting healing from within. Kizhi is particularly effective for treating arthritis, muscular pains, back pain, and sports injuries, as well as improving circulation and flexibility.
