Thalam Navarakkizhi

Thalam Navarakkizhi is a renowned therapeutic procedure in Ayurveda, particularly known in Kerala Ayurveda for its exceptional rejuvenating and healing qualities.

Its name is symbolic of its components and process: “Thalam” denotes the application of a medicated paste, typically over the head, while “Navarakkizhi” involves the use of boluses filled with cooked Navara rice, herbs, and medicinal oils.

 The procedure includes Navara rice cooked to a semi-solid consistency, formed into linen bags to create boluses, dipped in warm herbal oils and milk, and then applied rhythmically on the body, with particular attention to joints and muscles. Lasting 45 minutes to an hour, this therapeutic application stimulates multiple health benefits.

Navarakkizhi’s holistic benefits encompass rejuvenation of both body and mind, offering relief from muscular and joint discomfort, improving the functioning of the nervous system, and enhancement of skin health. Its applications are diverse and impactful, ranging from postpartum care to the management of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Navarakkizhi, a wellness therapy in Kerala Ayurveda, combines Navara rice’s potency with herbal oils and decoctions. It’s a key part of Ayurvedic treatment regimens, demonstrating the wisdom and efficacy of traditional healing practices. At Apollo AyurVAID, we ensure the safe and effective application of this practice.
