Elakizhi utilizes the anti-inflammatory power of fresh herbal leaves (Eranda, Nirgundi, Arka, Tamarind) fried in neem and castor oils with rock salt and lemon. Wrapped into linen boluses (kizhis), they are applied over swollen joints and the spine to draw out deep-seated inflammation, dissolve stiffness, and restore joint mobility.
