Have you ever wondered why your body feels stiff, heavy, or tired even when you've hardly done anything?

In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj explores one of Ayurveda's most well-known therapies, Kizhi, also known as Potli Massage. Far more than a relaxing spa treatment, Kizhi is a therapeutic Ayurvedic procedure designed to restore movement, improve circulation, awaken Prana, and help the body recover from years of physical stagnation.

Dr Vignesh explains why modern lifestyles have engineered movement out of our daily lives, how prolonged sitting affects the body and mind, and why stiffness is often a sign of blocked flow rather than simply ageing. He also explores the Ayurvedic understanding of Vata, the importance of movement as a sign of life, and the science behind how warmth, herbs, rhythmic stimulation, and touch influence circulation, the lymphatic system, the nervous system, and overall healing.

If you're dealing with chronic stiffness, muscular tightness, poor posture, or simply want to understand how traditional Ayurvedic therapies work, this is for you..
