Pottali ?

Pottali or Pinda Sweda is a form of "fomentation" (heat therapy). It involves using muslin bags (poultices) filled with medicated herbs, rice, or sand. These bags are heated and then applied to the body through rhythmic massage, delivering concentrated herbal benefits and deep heat to the joints and muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your Pottali session at Yara Wellness.

You will be provided with a disposable undergarment. The therapy is traditionally performed with minimal clothing to allow the herbal applications to reach all necessary areas of the body. Your privacy and comfort are always maintained with careful draping throughout the session.

A full Pottali session at Yara Wellness generally lasts 60 minutes, which includes the specialized therapy followed by a restorative resting period or a warm herbal steam bath to maximize absorption.

We recommend arriving on a light stomach. Avoid heavy meals at least 2 hours before your session. A small snack is fine, but a full meal may cause discomfort as the body's digestive energy and healing energy work optimally when not in conflict.

We suggest waiting at least 30–60 minutes before showering to allow the medicinal herbs and oils to continue absorbing into the skin and tissues. When you do shower, use warm (not hot) water and mild soap to preserve as much of the therapeutic benefit as possible.
