Ela Kizhi is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment involving the application of medicated herbal leaves. In this therapy, fresh leaves of specific medicinal plants are heated and tied into boluses (kizhis) with a cloth. These herbal boluses are then warmed in medicated oils and applied to the body through a systematic massage.
The treatment is known for its ability to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance joint mobility. Ela Kizhi is particularly beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, spondylosis, and muscle stiffness. The heat and medicinal properties of the herbs penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting circulation, detoxification, and overall relaxation.
