Vata Nourishing Ritual

Herbal Poultice & Hot Oil Massage - Kizhi Therapy

Kizhi therapy is a specialised Ayurvedic body therapy where a poultice (Kizhi) containing a mixture of fresh and dried herbal ingredients is soaked in heated medicated oil and used to massage the body.

The traditional herbal preparations, both in the bolus and the medicated oil are deeply healing and absorb effectively through the skin to nourish the bodily tissues and nerves. This treatment is useful for arthritis/joint pain, chronic fatigue/tiredness, and fibromyalgia. After this treatment you will feel calm, centered and your body will feel wonderfully supple and nourished. Traditionally this treatment is always followed with a body steam so it is highly recommended to book an infrared sauna as an addition to this treatment.

This treatment has a beautifully warming effect on the body and is wonderful to receive in cooler weather and especially for people who are sensitive to cold - sun seekers & those of you who often have cold hands and feet. *If you are a Pitta type, or during summer you might prefer Navara Kizhi Therapy as a more cooling option.
