Pizhichil
Pizhichil, Ayurveda’s top rejuvenating treatment, is a true gift from Ayurveda for regaining youth. Pizhichil, or Sarvangadhara, as it is also known, is a process that is traditionally used to pour medicated warm oils on the entire body of the client.
About Pizhichil Therapy
In this treatment, precious warm medicated oil is squeezed onto the patient’s body from a piece of cloth, which is periodically soaked in an oil-containing vessel, followed by a rhythmic soft massage. The patient should adopt the seven standard positions, leaving no part of the body exposed. The most important thing to remember when performing Pizhichil or Sarvangadhara is that the method for Pizhichil involves the application of 5 quarts of warm herbal oil in a gentle continuous movement all around the body of the concerned person.
