Full description

Potli Massage is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy that combines heat, herbal medicine, and massage techniques. Warm herbal bundles (potlis) filled with medicinal herbs are heated in oil and gently pressed over the body. The heat helps relax tight muscles, while the herbs work on reducing pain and inflammation. This therapy is especially effective for people dealing with stiffness, joint discomfort, or long-standing muscle tension. The rhythmic movement and warmth create a deeply relaxing and almost meditative experience. Unlike regular massage, Potli therapy uses heat as a key element, allowing muscles to relax more deeply and effectively.
