Choorna Pinda Sweda (Podikizhi)

Description

Choorna Pinda Sweda, popularly known as Podikizhi, is a therapeutic sweating treatment from the heart of Kerala Ayurveda. It involves massaging the body with warm boluses (pouches) filled with a special mixture of dried, powdered herbs (Choorna).

At Ojani Ayurveda Wellness Center, this therapy is administered by skilled therapists under Dr. Reethu’s guidance. The herbal pouches are heated in medicated oil and applied rhythmically to the body, inducing a therapeutic sweat that opens pores, expels deep-seated toxins, and alleviates pain. This treatment is particularly effective for inflammatory conditions and is a rejuvenating experience for travelers feeling stiff and sore.
