MODE OF ACTION

This treatment acts as both Snehana and Swedana:

The therapeutic action of Ela kizhi is because of the pharmacological action of Herbal drugs which are used in the therapy. Therapeutic action of the procedure Sudation, which is performed in the therapy.

Skin is a large, highly complex organ and structurally integrated organ system and the component of the skin are cutaneous membrane associated with hair, nails and exocrine glands, the cutaneous membrane has two components, superficial epithelium or epidermis and the underlying connective tissue of the dermis. The function of the skin is supported by an extensive network of blood vessels branch, and sensory receptors that monitor touch, pressure, temperature and pain.

When the procedure starts, due to the increased temperature which is more than 2 to 3 c and because of the pharmacological action of the medicine vasodilatation will happen all over the body.As a result of vasodilatation an increased flow of blood through the area occurs so that the necessary oxygen and nutritive materials are supplied and toxins are removed. The active ingredients of medicinal herbs helps to act as muscular relaxants, reduces the pain, inflammation and stiffness

This therapy produces sudation effect because of the medicinal action and temperature and act as a counter irritant which is the thermal stimulus and may affect the pain sensation. It also induces muscles relaxation and increases the efficiency of muscle action as the increased blood supply ensures the optimum condition for muscle contraction. That is because both eccrine and apocrine sweat glands are innervated by postganglionic sympathetic fibres that helps to have control on limbic system.
