Elakizhi is an ancient practice of Ayurveda that has been in constant practice since 5000 years ago. Elakizhi means "leaf bag" in Sanskrit. This traditional Ayurvedic massage therapy is known for its pain-relieving and detoxifying properties. Elakizhi treatment is effective in treating arthritis, sports injuries, paralytic spasms, lumbago, spondylitis and frozen shoulders. Elakizhi is proven to enhance blood circulation, expel toxins from the blood and cleanse the circulation channel. And is so effective in boosting immunity as well.
In Elakizhi Massage Therapy, fresh herbal leaves are cut into small pieces and mixed with medicated oil which is then put to heat. This is then put into a cloth bundle and is then formed into a bolus, which is often called a Kizhi. The body is then applied with oil and the bolus is heated to a particular temperature and kept over places of the body in the form of soft punches. The heat from the herbal Kizhi helps to enhance blood circulation, reduce pain and stiffness, and promote deep relaxation. The therapeutic properties of the herbs, combined with the soothing warmth, help detoxify the body, rejuvenate the skin, and restore overall balance and vitality. This ancient healing practice offers a holistic approach to wellness, addressing both physical and mental well-being and leaves you rejuvenated and relaxed to take on your day in a refreshed manner.
