About Pizhichil

Pizhichil is a traditional ayurvedic treatment that involves the soft massage of the body using streams of lukewarm medicated oils. This treatment is known as the “King of Ayurvedic Therapies” or “Treatment for Aristocrats” as it was specially offered to the kings in the olden times. It is also known by other names such as Sarvangadhara, Thaila Dhara, and Kaya Seka. 

Pizhichil is considered an important part of Panchakarma Ayurveda treatment. It combines oil and heat therapy to eliminate Ama or toxins from your body and improve blood circulation. The lukewarm medicated oil is poured on the body by squeezing it out from a cloth, after which a rejuvenating massage is given.
