Our Procedure

First, you have to prepare the decoction first by using the roots of Balamula or Sida Cordifolia. After removing the dirt, mud and dust. The roots are cut into small pieces and are made to boil until it becomes 1/4th of the initial quantity. After this the liquid will be strained to remove the solid part and the decoction is divided into two equal parts. One part is added with milk and rice and cooked. Once it is cooked this mixture will be grounded till it becomes soft. Then pieces of cloth are cut according to the dimension and the small portion of cooked rice is placed in that and it is tied with strong threads so that you will get a hand grip at the end of the boluses. The remaining decoction is added to milk and heated on a mild flame. The boluses prepared are dipped in the hot processed milk.

The treatment begins with abhyangam which will be followed by Amalaki Tala-dharana. As these will provide cool effect for your brain and sense organs, so that these parts can bear the heat when Navarakizhi is done. It is performed by 4 attendants in an uninterrupted manner. The strokes are given in circular motion and in clockwise so that it covers all the joints in the body. Normally, strokes are made in downward direction from the neck to the lower back and from the hip to the feet. If the boluses cool down then the other bolus which is heated is replaced and the process continues uninterruptedly for the time specified by the doctor.

Each session will take 70 to 105 minutes and the duration varies from 7 to 21 days based on the patient�s condition.
