The science behind Kizhi massage

Heat Therapy

Heated kizhi dilates blood vessels which boost circulation and send nutrient-rich oxygen flowing to your tissues. The warmth loosens tight muscles, eases stiff joints, and provides the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, for a major pain-relieving effect.

Herbal Synergy

To name a few of many herbs used, Kizhi is prepared with personalized blend of potent ingredients such as ginger and turmeric to counter inflammation, tulsi to boost your immune system and fresh lime to cleanse the toxins.

Marma Stimulation

The marma massage boosts Prana flow, it’s like tapping into body’s own pharmacy.

Lymphatic Drainage

The lymph system responsible for flushing out toxins, gets support which leads to reduced swelling and a cleaner internal body environment.

Psychological Impact
