Njavara Kizhi may be just what you need if you are looking for a natural remedy to reduce body aches, nourish your skin, and boost your energy levels. This traditional Ayurvedic treatment is special because it combines the restorative benefits of massage with the therapeutic potential of medicinal rice. It is one of those therapies that not only relieves physical discomfort but also rejuvenates your entire body, leaving you feeling lighter, more at ease, and completely renewed.
Njavara Kizhi is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy that uses small bundles, or poultices, filled with cooked medicinal rice called Njavara. These poultices are dipped in a warm herbal concoction and milk, then gently massaged over the body.
Unlike regular massages, Njavara Kizhi combines heat, herbal medicine, and nourishment in one. The warmth of the poultices helps open up pores, allowing the herbs and rice to penetrate deeply into the skin and muscles. This makes it an effective treatment for both pain relief and rejuvenation.
The treatment begins with preparing Njavara rice, which is cooked in a special mixture of cow’s milk and a herbal concoction. The cooked rice is tied into cloth bundles to form poultices.
During the session, these warm poultices are continuously dipped in the same herbal mixture and applied rhythmically all over the body. The heat relaxes the muscles, while the rice and herbs provide nourishment, reduce stiffness, and restore energy flow.
Over time, this therapy strengthens tissues, improves circulation, and enhances overall vitality.
Njavara rice is a special kind of medicinal rice that is high in nutrients and helps to revitalize the body. Cow’s milk is used to cook rice, as it nourishes and calms the skin. The herbal concoction is made from specific Ayurvedic herbs, that promote circulation, lower inflammation, and speed up healing. Together, these natural ingredients create a comprehensive treatment that is both calming and therapeutic.
When you arrive for your session, the therapist will prepare warm poultices filled with Njavara rice. You will then lie comfortably while the therapist massages your body with these poultices in a synchronized, rhythmic manner.
The session usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your condition. Most people describe the experience as deeply relaxing, with warmth seeping into stiff muscles and tension melting away. Afterwards, you may notice softer skin, reduced pain, and a wonderful sense of lightness in your body.
