Podhi Kizhi is a time-tested Ayurvedic therapy for aches and pains, circulation improvement, and good health. Here, warm herbal poultices are used, called “kizhis,” prepared by wrapping a blend of medicinal herbs, spices, and many other natural products in a cloth. Such poultices are heated and applied on the body parts in a rhythmic compressive manner.

The action of the heated kizhis is to relax muscle strain, reduce stiffness in joints, and increase blood circulation to the parts on which it is applied. These medicinal herbs have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, thus providing relief from pain and swelling. It is good in conditions like arthritis, muscular pain, and loss of energy —where the toxins are removed and strength or energy is gained by the person.

Treatment, it is also believed that, corrects the basic doshas of the body, thereby reversing the physical and emotional imbalance. With the addition of Podhi Kizhi in an Ayurvedic treatment protocol, people have experienced optimal relief from discomfort and a more youthful sensation in line with Ayurveda’s holistic approach in health and healing.
