Potli massage is an ancient Ayurvedic massage technique that involves the use of heated herbal pouches, known as potlis, to provide therapeutic benefits to the body. The pouches are filled with a blend of dried herbs, spices, and oils, and are then heated to a specific temperature before being used for massage.
While potli massage is not specifically designed for weight loss, it can offer some potential benefits that may indirectly support weight loss efforts. Here are some of the ways:
Improves digestion: It can help improve digestion and reduce gastrointestinal issues such as bloating and constipation, which can help improve nutrient absorption and support weight loss efforts.
Reduces stress: Stress can contribute to weight gain and make it more difficult to lose weight. Potli massage can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can help support weight loss efforts.
Boosts metabolism: Some of the herbs used in massages, such as turmeric and cinnamon, have been shown to have metabolism-boosting properties, which can help support weight loss.
Promotes lymphatic drainage: It can help stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a role in removing toxins and waste products from the body. This can help support weight loss efforts by improving overall detoxification.
