Podikizhi
Podikizhi is a form of fomentation therapy (Swedana) that uses medicated herbal powders, tied into warm boluses (cloth pouches), and applied to the body through a therapeutic massage. At Manah Ayurveda, we prepare these boluses using specially selected herbs known for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and detoxifying properties.
How it Works
Herbal powders (such as turmeric, dry ginger, horse gram, etc.) are roasted and tied in cloth.
These pouches are heated and applied in circular or rhythmic strokes across the affected areas.
Warmth from the bolus allows the herbs to penetrate the skin and muscles, stimulating healing.
Duration
Usually lasts 45–60 minutes per session, depending on the condition being treated.

Relieves stiffness and improves mobility
Aids in arthritis, spondylosis, and sports injuries
Promotes relaxation and rejuvenation

Shiro Vasthi
Shiro Vasthi is one of the most powerful traditional treatments used to balance the mind and body, particularly in managing nervous system disorders, stress, and head-related conditions.
Shiro means “head” and Vasthi means “holding or retaining.” In this therapy, lukewarm medicated oil is gently poured and retained on the head inside a specially designed cap-like structure for a fixed duration.
This treatment nourishes the brain tissues, calms the nervous system, and strengthens the senses.
How It’s Done at Manah Ayurveda
A leak-proof leather or herbal band is secured around the head.
Warm medicated oils (like Brahmi tailam, Ksheerabala, or Dhanwantharam) are poured and retained over the crown area.
The oil is kept on the head for 30 to 45 minutes, based on the individual's condition.
Afterward, the oil is carefully removed, and a gentle head massage is given.
