Njavarakizhi, also known as Shastika Pinda Sweda, is one of the most popular Ayurvedic treatments for improving muscle strength, rejuvenating the body, and re-energizing the system. This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals suffering from various muscular and joint disorders, and it also enhances overall health and vitality.
How Njavarakizhi is Performed
- Preparation of Medicinal Rice Pudding:
The key component of Njavarakizhi is Njavara rice, which is a special variety of rice known for its healing properties. This rice is cooked in a milk and herbal decoction, creating a nourishing medicated rice pudding. - Muslin Bags:
The medicated rice pudding is then tied into muslin bags. These bags are used to massage the body during the treatment. - Application:
The muslin bags filled with medicated rice are dipped into warm milk and herbal decoctions during the treatment. The warm bags are applied to the body in a rhythmic, massage-like motion, promoting sweating and detoxification. - Duration:
The treatment lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and the patient is made to perspire to help release toxins and improve circulation.
Benefits of Njavarakizhi
- Muscle Strengthening:
Njavarakizhi is known for its ability to strengthen muscles and joints, making it effective for conditions like muscular dystrophy, fibromyalgia, and joint pain. The nourishing properties of Njavara rice and milk help improve muscle tone and vitality. - Relieves Rheumatism & Joint Pains:
The therapy is particularly beneficial for those suffering from various types of rheumatism, including rheumatoid arthritis, and other joint pains. The herbal oils and decoctions used in the procedure help reduce inflammation, ease stiffness, and improve joint flexibility. - Treatment for Paralysis:
Njavarakizhi is effective in hemiplegia and paraplegia. The combination of massage, heat, and medicinal properties of the rice and milk helps in the restoration of muscle strength and recovery of motor functions in patients recovering from paralysis. - Improves Skin Health:
In addition to its musculoskeletal benefits, Njavarakizhi helps in skin rejuvenation. It improves the complexion and luster of the skin, making it a popular treatment for those suffering from skin diseases or looking to enhance their skin tone. - Detoxification:
The treatment promotes sweating, which is a natural way for the body to eliminate toxins. As a result, Njavarakizhi aids in the detoxification of the body, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. - Increases Circulation & Vitality:
