What Is Pindasweda (Kizhi)?
Pindasweda is a classical Ayurvedic Swedana (sudation or heat therapy) technique. In this treatment, a herbal poultice (pinda) is prepared by wrapping specific herbs, powders, medicinal leaves, or rejuvenating grains in a cotton cloth. The pouch is gently heated and rhythmically applied to the body after an initial warm oil massage.
The combination of warm herbal oils, therapeutic heat, and specialised massage techniques helps support circulation, relax tight tissues, and promote a feeling of lightness and ease in the body.
Different types of Pindasweda are used depending on individual needs, constitution, and presenting concerns
