About this therapy

Shashtika Shali - Rice harvested for 60 days. Pinda - Bolus. Sweda - Fomentation.


It is one among the fomentation therapies which is performed using milk & a special ayurvedic rice (Shashtika Shali / Navara) cooked in a decoction of Bala moola (Sida cordifolia).


As it provides Swedana (sudation), Snehana (oleation) and Brimhana (nourishment) simultaneously, it is widely used in conditions such as pain, dryness and weakness in the body. As it possesses inherent cool property, it also helps in the condition of burning sensation and severe neurological conditions.


This therapy pacifies the conditions caused by morbid Vata, Pitta and Rakta (degenerative/ inflammatory diseases or other pathological conditions due to contamination of blood).


Shastika Shaali Pinda Sweda is generally preferred in the absence of ama (आम).


Ama - अपक्व आहार रस इति आम ।


Ama is an undigested, unprocessed toxic substance formed due to the hypo-functioning of Agni which is not capable of nourishing the body, but vitiates Doshas and causes diseases. Agni, an important factor which does the digestion of the ingested food articles, helps to maintain the good health. Features seen in a person due to Ama are: feeling of weakness, heaviness, laziness, indigestion, excessive salivation, constipation, lack of taste and lethargy.


If you sense the presence of ama in your body, then this therapy can be opted after getting rid of ama with treatments like Vaaluka Sweda (fomentation given using heated sand) or Udwartanam (Medicated powder massage) or Choorna Pinda Sweda (fomentation given by poultice made of medicated churnas).


This ayurvedic therapy helps to subside spacticity, joint deformities, rigidity, hemiplegia, chronic rheumatism, later stages of demyelination, muscular dystrophy and palsy. Nutrients of Shastika Shali also supply proper nourishment to Dhatu (bodily tissues).

More Information

Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda is one of the most effective Ayurvedic therapies for Parkinson’s. It helps reduce tremors, improve body coordination, and strengthen weak muscles. Since the therapy is gentle and nourishing, it is suitable for home sessions, especially for elderly or movement-restricted individuals.

This therapy plays a crucial role in improving neuromuscular coordination by enhancing blood flow and stimulating the nervous system gently. When the warm rice bolus is massaged rhythmically over the body, it activates nerve pathways, reduces rigidity, and promotes better control over body movements. This makes it beneficial for neurological disorders where the muscles and nerves lose coordination gradually. Regular sessions help calm aggravated Vata dosha, which is primarily responsible for nerve-related imbalances.

Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda is useful for a wide range of conditions, including Parkinson’s, arthritis, cervical spondylosis, lumbar stiffness, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, post-stroke weakness, chronic back pain, muscle spasms and generalized fatigue. Its nourishing effect makes it suitable for conditions where the tissues have weakened and require rebuilding rather than cleansing.
