Jambeera Pinda Swedam: This is very effective for acute inflammatory back pain, stiffness and Pitta-related swelling. It is made out of poultices of fresh lemon and medicinal herbs
Patra Pinda Swedam (Elakizhi): Uses fresh medicinal leaves fried in herbal oils to nourish weakened muscles, ease nerve irritation, and restore joint flexibility.
