Thalapothichil- Ayurvedic Mental Health care

In Ayurveda, Thalapothichil is the most effective method to treat various psychosomatic disorders. It is essentially a herbal cooling therapy which involves the application of a medicated paste on the client’s head.

At Herbal Heal, our therapists begin the Thalapothichil process with a traditional head massage with oils. The herbal paste made from buttermilk and medicinal herbs is applied onto the scalp with a thickness of around 1 cm, leaving a small portion in the centre unfilled. Medicated oil is then poured into this space. Except for this central portion, the other paste-filled areas of the head are covered with plantain or lotus leaves. Eventually, the paste is removed, and the therapy ends with a light head massage.
