Thala Pothichil
About This Therapy
Thala Pothichil is a classical Ayurvedic head treatment in which a specially prepared medicinal paste is applied to the entire scalp and retained for a therapeutic duration. The paste is formulated using Amla (Indian gooseberry) and a selection of special roots chosen for their cooling, calming, and nourishing properties. It is one of the most effective treatments for conditions rooted in excess Pitta in the head making it highly valuable for modern lifestyle conditions such as insomnia, hypertension, and anxiety.

How It Works
After a gentle head massage to prepare the scalp, a fresh paste of Amla and curated medicinal roots is applied evenly across the entire scalp and head. A banana leaf or cloth wrap is then applied to retain the paste and optimise its absorption. The paste is left in place for a prescribed duration before being gently removed. The session leaves the scalp feeling cool, calm, and refreshed.
