When Pain, Stiffness, or Fatigue Start Slowing You Down
Maybe your shoulders feel tight after long work hours.
Maybe your knees crack every time you climb stairs.
Or maybe, after months of stress, your body just feels… heavy.
This is when Ayurvedic doctors often recommend Kizhi — a therapeutic warm-poultice massage that melts stiffness, boosts circulation, and brings life back into tired muscles and joints.
But here’s what people often ask at Mitra Ayurveda Clinic in Dubai:
“There are so many types—Ela Kizhi, Podi Kizhi, Njavara Kizhi… which one do I need?”
This blog clears up that confusion—simply, practically, and with real examples—so you understand what your body actually needs.
Ayurvedic Kizhi Therapy in Dubai / UAE
Kizhi involves applying warm herbal poultices (bundles) on the body in rhythmic strokes. Each Kizhi type uses different herbs or ingredients—so each one has a different purpose.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
Ela Kizhi (Herbal Leaf Poultice)
Best for:
- Joint pain
- Muscle stiffness
- Frozen shoulder
- Back pain
- Sports injuries
Why it works:
Warm medicated leaves (usually castor, tamarind, moringa) reduce inflammation, improve movement, and relax deep muscle knots.
Podi Kizhi (Herbal Powder Poultice)
Best for:
- Arthritis
- Chronic knee pain
- Swelling
- Nerve pain
- Fibromyalgia
Why it works:
Herbal powders like dry ginger, turmeric, and horse gram generate heat and penetrate stiff, painful joints—reducing swelling and pain.
Njavara Kizhi (Rice & Milk Poultice)
Best for:
- Muscle weakness
- Post-illness recovery
- Skin glow
- Nerve fatigue
- Anti-aging & rejuvenation
Why it works:
A nourishing mixture of Njavara rice cooked in herbal milk strengthens muscles and leaves the skin soft, firm, and radiant.
How to Choose the Right Kizhi Therapy for Your Condition
Choosing a Kizhi isn’t guesswork. It’s based on dosha imbalance, current symptoms, and your pain history.
Mistakes people often make:
- Thinking all Kizhi types do the same thing
- Choosing a “strong” therapy when the body actually needs nourishment
- Using heat-based therapies when inflammation is already high
- Comparing it to spa massages (Kizhi is therapeutic, not cosmetic)
