Pizhichil

Warm Oil Therapy for Deep Rejuvenation

Pizhichil

Pizhichil is one of Ayurveda's most royal treatments, thanks to its incredible rejuvenating power. Pizhichil is an unctuous type of sudation in which the warmed oil is poured all over the body or a specific part for a stipulated period in a specific manner. Throughout this therapy, the body is exposed to streams of lukewarm oil with soft massage and rhythmic hand movements. In this process, fixed-size linen clothes are dipped in tolerably hot oil or paste and squeezed from a certain height on the patient's body. It is usually pinched from a distance of seven to nine inches to the body's surface.

Procedure :-

Pizhichil is a luxurious and deeply rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy that combines the healing power of warm medicated oils with gentle, rhythmic massage. The treatment begins with a brief consultation to determine your body constitution (dosha) and select the appropriate herbal oils. During the session, lukewarm medicated oil is continuously poured over the body in a rhythmic stream, while trained therapists perform a synchronized massage using soft, soothing strokes. The warm oil penetrates deep into the skin, promoting circulation, relieving muscle tension, and detoxifying the body. Typically performed on a specially designed wooden table (Droni), Pizhichil is a full-body therapy that lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. It is often recommended in a series of sessions for best results and is especially effective for conditions like joint pain, muscle stiffness, neurological disorders, and stress-related fatigue. The session ends with a period of rest, allowing the body to absorb the healing effects of the oil, followed by a warm herbal bath or wipe-down.
