Pottali Swedana
Therapeutic herbal bolus fomentation used to provide warmth, ease stiffness and support comfortable movement.
Pottali Swedana uses warm herbal boluses (potlis) — cloth pouches filled with medicated herbs, rice or sand — gently pressed and massaged over the body after being heated in medicated oil.
The combination of heat, herbal potency and rhythmic pressure penetrates deep into muscles and joints, loosening stiffness, improving local circulation and easing pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, back pain, sports injuries and muscular spasms.
The specific herbs used in the bolus — commonly Navara rice, Ela Kizhi herbs or Choorna Pinda — are chosen by the physician depending on whether the goal is pain relief, nourishment or rejuvenation.
- Relieves joint and muscular stiffness
- Improves local blood circulation
- Eases chronic back, neck and joint pain
- Supports faster recovery from sports and muscular strain
At Anahat Ayurveda & Panchakarma Centre, each care plan begins with a personal consultation. Recommendations may include Ayurvedic therapies, food and routine guidance, and follow-up support based on your individual needs.
