Churna Pinda Sweda / Podikizhi

What is Churna Pinda Sweda / Podikizhi Treatment?

Churna Pinda Sweda (CPS) is a form of Swedana therapy where medicated herbal powders (Churna) are warmed and tied in cloth pouches (Pinda) to apply therapeutic heat over affected body parts. Also called Podikizhi in Kerala Ayurveda, this technique combines the benefits of massage and heat to detoxify the body and improve circulation. It is especially beneficial for conditions like:

  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Sciatica and back pain
  • Muscular cramps and spasms
  • Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia
  • Neuromuscular disorders
  • Stiffness and inflammation

  • Enhances blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
  • Relieves muscle spasms and improves flexibility
  • Helps in detoxification and rejuvenation of tissues
  • Supports the treatment of arthritis, cervical/lumbar spondylosis, and sciatica
  • Promotes relaxation and relieves stress and fatigue
  • Revitalizes the nervous system and boosts energy levels

  • Patients recovering from sports injuries or muscle strain
  • People with neurological issues like sciatica, multiple sclerosis, or stroke recovery
  • Individuals experiencing general fatigue, poor circulation, or muscle tension

Treatment Procedure

  • Preparation: A thorough consultation is conducted by our Ayurvedic doctor to assess your body constitution (prakriti) and identify the dosha imbalance.
  • Herbal Powder Selection: Based on your condition, a customized blend of dry herbal powders is prepared, including ingredients like Rasnadi, Eranda, Vacha, and Devadaru.
