Kizhi

Kizhi, also known as Pinda Sweda, is an Ayurvedic treatment using heated herbal boluses.

Small cloth bundles (kizhi) are filled with medicinal powders, rice, leaves or sand, then immersed in warm herbal oils or decoctions. The therapist rhythmically presses and massages the body with these warm poultices, either over the entire body or on specific regions. Common varieties include Podi Kizhi (with herbal powder) and Navara Kizhi (with medicinal rice)
