One form of Ayurvedic Kizhi therapy is Elakizhi. Kizhi refers to a variety of therapies that are suggested for various health issues, such as MarmaKizhi, NjavaraKizhi, or Shashtika Pinda Sweda. As a result, Kizhi is a catch-all phrase. However, all of these treatments, including Elakizhi, use a similar method of massaging and treating soft tissue inflammation using hot medicinal bolus.
