Shashtika Sali Pinda Sweda, also known as Navarakizhi, is a popular Ayurvedic therapy that involves massaging the body with a bundle of cooked Navara rice (a type of red rice) dipped in a herbal decoction and milk.
The therapy begins with a gentle massage with warm oil on the body, followed by the application of warm bundles of Navara rice, dipped in a herbal decoction and milk, all over the body. The therapist then gently presses and massages the body with the rice bundles, helping the therapeutic substances in the rice penetrate the skin and nourish the body tissues.
Shashtika Sali Pinda Sweda is believed to be helpful in promoting relaxation, reducing stress, improving circulation, relieving pain and stiffness, and nourishing the skin. It is commonly used in Ayurvedic treatment for conditions such as arthritis, paralysis, sciatica, and muscle and joint pain.
It is important to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before undergoing Shashtika Sali Pinda Sweda or any other Ayurvedic therapy. The therapy may not be suitable for everyone and may have certain contraindications or side effects.
