ELA KIZHI

Elakizhi is an Ayurvedic Therapy deeply rooted in Ayurveda, where its name reflects its essence – ‘ela’ signifies leaves, and ‘kizhi’ refers to the bolus or potli used in the treatment. The process involves carefully selected medicinal leaves, rich in anti-inflammatory properties, which are then fried in herbal oil. These potent leaves are meticulously tied up in a cotton cloth, creating therapeutic pouches or potlis.

To initiate the treatment, these herbal potlis are heated by dipping them in warm oil, allowing the infusion of medicinal goodness. The massage itself is a holistic experience, employing long, circular, and stamping strokes to apply the potlis over the body. This targeted application, coupled with the warmth of the oil, aims to address a spectrum of issues related to muscles, bones, and joints.

The effectiveness of Elakizhi lies not only in the anti-inflammatory properties of the medicinal leaves but also in the synergy with the herbal oil and the specific massage techniques. The treatment is known to be highly beneficial, providing relief and promoting overall well-being through the natural healing power of herbs and therapeutic touch.
