What Is Pizhichil Treatment?

Pizhichil is an Ayurvedic therapy in which warm herbal oils are steadily poured over the body, along with a gentle massage. This therapy reduces pain and stiffness, improves circulation, supports detox, and encourages deep relaxation.

How Pizhichil Works in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, aches, stiffness, and degeneration are often linked to an aggravated Vata dosha and a buildup of toxins (Ama). Pizhichil welcomes your body with warmth, nourishing oils, and gentle massage to calm Vata, boost healthy circulation, soothe muscles, reduce discomfort, and support your overall vitality.
