Overview
What is Njavara Kizhi?
Njavara Kizhi is one of Ayurveda's most nourishing Kizhi practices, using warm poultices made from Njavara rice cooked in a herbal decoction and milk. Gently massaged over the body, these fragrant bundles are valued for warmth, texture and a slow sensory experience.
At The Ayur Chikitsa in York, every Njavara Kizhi treatment is personalised following your Ayurvedic consultation, with herb blends and oils chosen to reflect your constitution (Prakriti) and current wellbeing priorities. Ideal for anyone drawn to Ayurveda's slower, more nurturing side, this luxurious ritual invites the body to soften while offering a beautifully sensory experience. A signature Ayurvedic rice-poultice ritual in York, Njavara Kizhi is a treatment to be truly savoured.
