Elakhizi – patrapotli (massage with herbs-filled potlis)

Basis of potlis in this treatment is served by a thick mass of herbs. They are cooked beforehand and filled into the potlis. They are then soaked in oil in a way that they stay warm enough when being placed on the patient’s skin. This form of the potlis contains much more active substances. Due to absorption through the skin, this treatment is considered significantly more valuable, than a massage done by hands only. The skin is generally very “hungry” for substances provided by the herbs and the oil.
