Overview
What is Njavara Kizhi?
Soft cloth poultices containing traditionally prepared Njavara rice are warmed and rhythmically applied over the body using flowing Ayurvedic massage movements.
The combination of warmth, rhythmic massage and nourishing preparation creates a particularly restorative and comforting treatment for tired muscles, muscular stiffness, joint discomfort, physical fatigue and skin that benefits from soft, caring touch.
