At Neerozhukkil Vaidyasala , Kizhi is a traditional Ayurvedic fomentation therapy that combines the healing power of herbs, warmth, and touch. Kizhi comes from the Swedana Chikitsa (sudation therapy) branch of Ayurveda, and specifically works to improve circulation, loosen joints, and facilitate any trapped toxins (Ama) that are stuck in the muscles and binds. Kizhi balances aggravated Vata and Kapha Doshas, helping to release chronic pain, inflammation, and muscle fatigue while also returning flexibility and stability. Depending on your condition, the therapy may use Elakizhi (herbal leaf pouch), Podikizhi (powder pouch), or Njavarakizhi (rice and milk pouch).
