HOW IS Podi Kizhi DONE?

Preparation of Herbal Powder: A blend of therapeutic herbs is ground into a fine powder and prepared specifically for each client’s needs. Common ingredients include antiinflammatory and analgesic herbs, selected for their unique healing properties.

Heating the Poultices: The herbal powder is wrapped in a cotton or linen cloth pouch. These pouches are then heated in medicated oil until they reach a comfortable temperature.

Application: After ensuring the poultices are not too hot, the therapist gently applies them to the designated areas of the body, often focusing on joints, muscles, or areas with chronic pain.

Duration: Each session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, allowing the skin to absorb the herbs' potent properties while enjoying the soothing warmth.
