Potli Massage

Potli Massage

Nowadays, city-dwellers are devoting weekends to their health by checking into wellness spas. A typical day at such resorts begins with a complimentary class of yoga, followed by a day full of massages and healing therapies. One can also enjoy delectable nutritious food that are locally sourced.

Potli Massage combines two iconic therapies into one spa treatment — micro massages with body elixir (a non-greasy body oil) and potli massage. The treatment begins with the former micro massage followed by the potli massage which uses heated herbal pouches also known as potlis (or poultice). The potlis are kneaded onto specific pressure points to help heal the body. The last step is an algae body wrap made of detoxifying algae, seaweed mixed in mud or clay, and warm water.

It’s hot when applied all over the body, and you are cocooned in towels. After the wrap cools off, your body heats up once again and this change in temperature helps the body get rid of toxins as your skin cells are stimulated.
