Warm cotton pouches of medicinal leaves, powders and oil, pressed over the body to induce gentle sweating.
- Medium
- Herbs, powders and oil in cloth pouches
What it is for
A form of sudation therapy often recommended for persistent muscular and joint pain, and used in plans for body rejuvenation.
What happens
Fresh herbal leaves and medicinal powders are mixed with a prepared oil and tied in cotton cloth to form a kizhi. The pouches are heated and applied with measured pressure so the herbs are absorbed through the skin.
Every treatment is recommended by a doctor after consultation. Session length and the number of sessions depend on your plan.
