Kizhi-Thirummu (Pindadwardanam)

In the Kizhithirummu method which is  also known as Pindadwardanam, specially prepared herbs and leaves are bundled in a cloth bag known as Kizhi which then is dipped into a Medicated Oil (Thailam).  Based on the physique or body nature of the patient and the nature of his complaint the temperature of the Kizhi needs to be different for different cases. The combination of the oil also changes depending on the nature of the bruise or the disorder. It is very important that the Kizhi is applied with the right amount of pressure on the body where there is pain and swelling and with the right kind of Thailam. Owing to the combined effect of the medicated Kizhi and the warmth, it is highly effective in treating Osteo and Rheumatic (Rheumatoid) arthritis. This is also useful to treat old bruises and other disorders.
