Shashtikasali Pinda Sweda, also known as Navarakizhi, is a deeply rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy offered at Matritva Care. This unique treatment involves the warm application of medicinal rice (Shashtika Shali), cooked in a nourishing blend of herbal decoctions and milk, and bundled into soft boluses. The therapy is designed to strengthen the muscles, nourish joints and nerves, and restore vitality — making it ideal for those with musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, or age-related concerns.
It is performed with rhythmic massage movements using the boluses, offering both nourishment and a mild sudation (sweating) effect, while calming aggravated Vata and Pitta doshas.
