Navara Kizhi - Soothing Milk & Rice Poultice Massage
Navara Kizhi is a deeply nourishing and therapeutic Ayurvedic treatment that combines warm herbal oils with milk-soaked rice poultices to soothe, hydrate, and rejuvenate the body. Renowned for its anti-inflammatory, cooling, and anti-aging properties, this treatment promotes relaxation while supporting musculoskeletal health, immunity, and overall well-being.
The treatment utilizes Navara rice, a rare and highly medicinal red rice grown exclusively in Kerala, India. When cooked, this unique rice releases powerful healing properties, making it an essential ingredient in this therapy. The rice is combined with a warm decoction of milk—prized for its soothing and moisturizing effects—and an extract of Bala root, a revered Ayurvedic herb known to strengthen the nervous system, reduce pain, and promote healthy tissue regeneration.
Though the poultices are applied warm, the combined properties of rice, milk, and herbs create a cooling and calming effect on deeper tissues, making Navara Kizhi particularly beneficial during the summer months or for those with excess Pitta (heat) in the body.
