Description

Elakizhi is a traditional Ayurvedic massage therapy that uses warm poultices (kizhis) made of fresh medicinal leaves, herbs, and oils, bundled into cotton cloth and applied to the body with gentle pressure and heat. The herbs are selected based on the individual’s condition and are typically fried in herbal oil before use.

This therapeutic treatment is ideal for:

• Relieving joint and muscular pain
• Reducing inflammation and stiffness (helpful in arthritis, sciatica, and back pain)
• Improving blood circulation and detoxification
• Enhancing mobility and muscle tone
• Calming Vata and Kapha doshas

The warmth of the poultices helps in opening the skin pores, allowing deeper penetration of the medicinal oils, while the massage strokes stimulate the body’s energy flow and healing process.

Elakizhi is perfect for those dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or fatigue, offering both therapeutic relief and invigorating rejuvenation.
