Njavara Kizhi at Prem & Yoga Ayurveda | Ayurvedic Rice Bolus Therapy
Prem & Yoga Ayurveda Njavara Kizhi is one of the ancient Ayurvedic curative treatments, which involves placing warm rice compresses with Ayurvedic herbs to nourish the body deeply. During this treatment, Njavara rice is cooked in herbal decoctions and fortified with therapeutic oils, tied into soft boluses, and rhythmically applied to the body.
It is also known as Ayurvedic rice bolus therapy or herbal rice poultice therapy and is effective on both muscular and deep tissue levels, helping alleviate pain, restore strength, and bring that feeling of grounded relaxation.
This treatment is particularly considered to be refreshing and fortifying, which is why it is a more popular treatment when it comes to individuals suffering from musculoskeletal pain or progressive muscular degeneration.
About Njavara Kizhi
Njavara rice is a particular Ayurveda product, which is highly nourishing and restorative. Once acted upon by herbal decoctions and warm oils, it will become a powerful medicinal resource that helps the body to gain strength in the muscles, enhance blood flow, and promote a mild process of detoxification.
