At Dr Hridyas Ayurveda Speciality Treatment Clinic in Dubai, we offer authentic and time-tested Ayurvedic therapies tailored to restore your health, vitality, and inner balance. One of our most powerful therapies for rejuvenation and musculoskeletal wellness is Shashtika Pinda Sweda, also known as Njavarakizhi. This unique treatment combines the nourishment of medicinal rice with the healing warmth of therapeutic massage to promote deep healing at both physical and mental levels.

Shashtika Pinda Sweda / Njavarakizhi

What is Njavarakizhi / Shashtika Pinda Sweda?

Shashtika Pinda Sweda (also called Njavarakizhi) is a special type of Pinda Sweda Ayurvedic treatment, where warm boluses (pindas) filled with a special variety of rice called Shashtika (Njavara) are dipped in a herbal decoction and milk, then gently massaged over the body. This treatment is highly rejuvenative, strengthening muscles, lubricating joints, improving skin texture, and calming the nervous system.
Njavarakizhi is one of the most nourishing and sweat-inducing (Swedana) therapies in Ayurveda and is especially effective for those suffering from neuromuscular and degenerative conditions.

Benefits of Pinda Sweda / Njavarakizhi Ayurvedic Treatment

This therapeutic massage offers deep nourishment and healing. Some of its key benefits include:

  • Strengthens muscles and improves tone
  • Relieves joint stiffness and inflammation
  • Enhances nerve function and reduces neuropathic pain
  • Rejuvenates skin and boosts circulation
  • Promotes better mobility and flexibility
  • Reduces fatigue, stress, and promotes calmness

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or seeking rejuvenation, Pinda Sweda treatment is a natural, side-effect-free solution.

Who Can Benefit from Shashtika Pinda Sweda?

This treatment is ideal for those suffering from:

  • Neurological disorders (e.g., paralysis, sciatica)
  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Muscle wasting or weakness
  • Sports injuries and muscle fatigue
  • Skin diseases and aging
  • Post-stroke rehabilitation
  • General debility or fatigue

It’s also beneficial for anyone wanting to rejuvenate their body and mind through Ayurvedic therapy.

The Procedure of Njavarakizhi / Shashtika Pinda Sweda Treatment

At Dr. Hridya’s Clinic, your Njavarakizhi session follows these therapeutic steps:

  • Initial Abhyanga – A gentle full-body oil massage is performed using warm medicated oil to prepare the body.
  • Preparation of Boluses (Pindas) – Boluses are made with Shashtika (Njavara) rice cooked in a mixture of milk and herbal decoctions.
  • Application – The warm pindas are applied and massaged rhythmically over the body or affected areas. The process induces gentle sweating and absorption of nutrients.
  • Post Therapy Care – After the massage, the body is wiped clean and a short rest is recommended. A light herbal drink may be offered to support detoxification.

Each session takes around 60–90 minutes and is usually part of a multi-day treatment plan, depending on your condition.
