Medicated Rice Bath
~ Njavarakizhi ~
Kerala, the enchanting "God's Own Country," stands as a sanctuary of Ayurveda, an ancient healing science revered across the globe. Shielded by its geographical isolation, Kerala has upheld the profound legacy of authentic Ayurvedic practices, undeterred by the historical invasions that ravaged other parts of India.
Kerala's bountiful flora and fauna were the muse for ancient Vaidyas, the Ayurvedic physicians who ingeniously crafted transformative healing methods, giving birth to the renowned Kerala Panchakarma. Departing from the conventional separation of massage and sweat therapy, Kerala Panchakarma seamlessly merges these elements into unified therapies like Ela kizhi, Pizchil, Njavara kizhi, and Njavara theppu. Furthermore, Kerala Vaidyas have enriched these therapies with herbal leaves, medicated powders, and the exceptional healing properties of herbal rice, elevating their therapeutic efficacy.

“Hi, my name is Reagan and I'm from the United States. I recently was here at AyurvedaGram Bali. What a fantastic place. I had attended Panchakarma in Bangalore early before the pandemic in 2020. I was so excited to find out there was a new location in Bali. I packed my bags and I arrived and from the moment I came onto campus I was made to feel welcome, loved and as if I'd been here before the whole time. What a beautiful experience. Between the clinic and the hotel and the campus,
I just had a peaceful, beautiful, rejuvenating Panchakarma. Thank you to the team here in Bali and hurry up and pack your own bags and make it to AyurvedaGram Bali!“
