Ela means ‘leaves ‘and Kizhi means ‘bundle’. Fresh herbal leaves together with grated coconut and fresh lemon slices are put inside the bundle. During the treatment the bundle is fried in hot oil in a pan. Then these warm bundles are mildly ‘stamped’ over your whole body.
It has a very lifting effect for the skin and it also removes ama (toxins) from the body.
Indicated also with joint stiffness, cellulite, carpal-tunnel syndrome, constipation amongst others.
Sometimes Elakkizhi is also called Jambira Pinda Sweda, or Patra Potali Sweda. We also offer this great way of treatment by our well trained massage therapists. Why don’t you give it a try?
