More about Pain Management
Kizhi Ayurveda massage provides dry heat for aggravated Vata and Vata-Kapha conditions.
Aches and pains associated with the joints and muscular skeleton are caused by aggravation of Vata and Vata-Pitha conditions. The heat generated by Kizhi helps to pacify the aggravated Vata thus relieving the associated pain immediately. Moreover, the enhanced blood supply due to hot fermentation helps to recover from muscular pain.
Procedure
Small herbal pouches (satchels) containing herbs, rice, sand etc. as described above are heated and lightly pounded over the body or specific parts of the body as needed. Usually, two assistants will work in tandem.
