This is a wonderful treatment, one of my favourites to receive. It is strengthening and nourishing, and among other things relieves joint pain and stiffness. 

A bolus (bag) of special cooked rice, called Navara rice, is used with a concoction of milk and special herbs. The bolus is applied in long strokes over the long bones and circular strokes over circular bones. 

It is good for:

• Osteoarthritis
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Muscular pain
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Myalgia
• Prolapse of intervertebral disc
• Spondylolisthesis

Benefits are listed as:

• Helps in preventing the degeneration of joint tissues and wasting of muscles
• Provides lightness in the joints, soft tissues, and muscles by inducing sweat
• Corrects imbalances associated with Vata and Pitta doshas
• Enhances flexibility and movement of joints
• Enhances skin color and complexion by improving blood circulation in the skin

I found it really softened the tissues around the joints in my hands which were starting to become a little stiff.
