Elakizhi or Patrapotala Sweda is an age-old sudation therapy using an assortment of medicinal herbs. It generates perspiration in the affected area, which enables the skin to expel toxins from the body. Fresh leaves (Ela) with vata pacifying properties are used to create the herbal kizhis (bundles). These bundles are dipped into lukewarm Ayurvedic oils and used for massaging the body or affected area.
Elakizhi is usually an integral component of the Panchakarma therapy and is highly effective in treating diseases impacting joints, bones and the nervous system. The administration of this massage by an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner makes it a safe and holistic treatment. Our staff comprises many senior Ayurvedic practitioners possessing years of experience and top-notch precision in the treatments that they provide.
