HOW IS Ela Kizhi DONE?

Preparation of the Herbal Poultices: The treatment begins with the preparation of the herbal poultices, which are made from a combination of healing herbs and medicinal leaves, such as sandalwood, neem, and various aromatic plants. These herbs are selected based on your specific health needs.

Warming the Poultices: The poultices are gently heated with medicated oil or herbal decoction to a comfortable temperature. The warmth enhances the absorption of the therapeutic properties from the herbs and oils into the skin and muscles.

Application of Herbal Poultices: The warmed poultices are applied to the body, typically over the back, joints, or other areas of pain and stiffness. The herbal bundles are pressed gently against the skin in a rhythmic, therapeutic pattern to ensure the herbs and oils penetrate deeply into the muscles and tissues.

Therapeutic Pressing and Rubbing: As the poultices are applied, the therapist performs gentle, rhythmic pressing and rubbing movements to ensure that the medicinal properties of the herbs are effectively absorbed into the body. This also helps in releasing muscular tension and enhancing circulation.
