Njavarakizhi massage treatment is a form of swedana which is included under the category of Pinda Sweda (bolus fomentation). In this procedure we use Shashti Rice (a special type of rice harvested in 60 days) processed in herbal decoctions and milk tied in a bolus to rub against the whole body or afflicted part of the body so as to provide heat to the pain afflicted joints, muscles or body parts. Pinda massage or Pinda Sweda is performed with closed bags or sphere-shaped cloth bags made of linen or cotton, called pindas, which are filled with Asian healing herbs. Rice is also added for consistency during the massage. Aromatic and medicinal herbs are prepared and mixed with essential oils which are steamed and heated. |gxs| rkv| tka| kjc| aqq| lea| mzw| fcc| epf| zyr| nbn| ccz| fih| vjj| vcy| rsb| izh| ydk| xrq| fum| tmx| kdj| uyc| zoi| ezd| plt| rzl| znx| hhw| uom| ccd| xtk| xfr| uzi| lmm| azj| tjr| ycx| ryo| utl| hgh| jyw| ffk| tsr| zch| war| per| dkf| bfa| voa|
