Elakkizhi is a part of the panchakarma treatment in Ayurveda. It is a highly rejuvenating treatment that uses herbs and medicated oil to restore balance in your body. The treatment is highly effective for inflammatory conditions of bones and joints, chronic back pain, and sports injuries.
In the practice of Ayurveda, three doshas govern the body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Whenever the doshas are not in balance, there are some herbs used to pacify the doshas and restore balance. In Elakkizhi, herbs are specifically used to pacify the Vata dosha.
Various kinds of leaves and herbs used in the treatment. Tamarind and coconut leaves are just some of the few leaves used in the practice. It is important though to always use fresh leaves and washed thoroughly. The leaves are chopped, mixed with other herbs and fried with medicated oils.
The poultice produced is then tied into boluses and dipped again into medicated oils. Meanwhile, the body is prepared for the treatment by massaging warmed oil onto it, raising the temperature slightly. When the ideal temperature is reached, the boluses are massaged over pressure points, providing relief and restoring balance.
The practice of Elakkizhi is best used to treat neurological disorders and post-traumatic dysfunctions. People experiencing anxiety and other mental health disorders can experience relief.
