"Potli" simply means cloth bag. In this therapy, medicinal herbs are tied into a cloth pouch, heated, and applied externally to the part of the body that needs care. Your therapist presses, taps, and massages the warm potli over the area, so the heat and the herbs work together.
In Ayurveda, Potli Therapy is known to help balance the Vata dosha, which is linked to pain, stiffness, and dryness in the body. That is why it is a popular choice for back pain, sciatica, arthritis, and other muscular aches. The session is soothing and pleasantly warm, and it ends with a period of rest.
Medicinal ingredients are warmed and tied into cloth potlis just before your session.
The potli is worked over the affected areas with rhythmic movements, delivering heat deep into the muscles.
Back, shoulders, knees, or anywhere else that feels tight, the focus goes where you need it most.
Choose from variations such as Navara Kizhi, Podi Kizhi, and Ela Kizhi, depending on what your body needs.
