Pizhichil Therapy

(Whole body therapy)

Pizhichil is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy that combines the nurturing warmth of herbal oils with the art of rhythmic massage. This holistic treatment is designed to rejuvenate the body, calm the mind, and restore balance, offering a deeply transformative experience that goes beyond mere relaxation.

How Pizhichil Therapy Works?

Here gentle warm, medicated herbal oils are applied over the body while simultaneously massaging it to nourish, detoxify, and rejuvenate the body and mind. Traditional herbal ayurvedic oils are used to balance the doshas, promote circulation, and strengthen the body’s tissues. The heat and oil penetration help to release toxins from the body, hydrate the skin, and restore energy.

Pizhichil Therapy Procedure

Pizhichil is a relaxing and methodical procedure, performed as follows:

Preparation: The patient is made to lie down in a comfortable position. The Ayurvedic practitioner prepares the herbal oils, which are warmed to a specific temperature.

Application: The warm oil is poured continuously over the body in a rhythmic manner, while the therapist performs gentle massages to ensure the oil is absorbed effectively into the skin. The patient remains relaxed while the oils work their magic.

Duration: About 45 minutes to an hour.

Post-treatment Care: After the therapy, the patient may be advised to rest and hydrate, allowing the body to assimilate the benefits of the therapy.

    Ram prasath
    I’ve been seeing doctors for the past 10 years, dealing with everything from a simple cold to more serious stuff like shoulder tendonitis, which required an injection. Wanting to avoid ongoing treatments, I turned to Ayurveda. Since then, my shoulders are back to feeling as good as new. Later on, I also got treated for ulcerative colitis and it’s all gone now. It’s amazing—every issue I’ve had has been fixed without any long-term problems.

    I took treatment in this Hospital for knee pain and blood circulation in left foot from 5th Sept to 16th Sept 2024. I took a consultation with Dr. Sri Krishna, a Competent, Calm, and Cool person. Above all 6th Generation doctor of this ancient hospital! There is a say that, when you meet your doctor, half of your ailments will disappear, actually it happened with me! He advised me to take 10 days of external treatment like Abhyanga, Janu Basti.. along with oral medicines...

    I met Dr.Sampoorna who helped me with the treatment for my vericose veins. I underwent 14 days treatment in Shree Ayurvedic hospital. The 5 girls who helped me with the treatment were really kind and helpful. Even the staffs were really kind. I can see a good improvement in the condition after getting the treatment. Hope it gets even more better in the future.
