Pizhichil is often referred to as the ‘king of Ayurvedic therapies’ because it is one of the most nourishing and revitalizing therapies available. Being treated to warm medicated oils (primarily Dhanwantaram Thailam and Mahanarayan Thailam), which are poured continuously in a steady stream over your body whilst receiving a soft-tight massage to remove tension is a pleasant experience.
Benefits of Pizhichil Therapy
Promotes Deep Detoxification
With warm medicated oil spilling over the body while getting gently massaged, Pizhichil helps flush out toxins and purify the system to help you internally cleanse and achieve wellness.
Promotes Muscle Strength and Flexibility
The warm and therapeutic pressure of the oil massage relaxes stiff muscles and joints to improve mobility, flexibility, and overall strength in the muscles.
Promotes Nervous System Health
Pizhichil provides a deep, calming effect on the nervous system. It calms frayed nerves, decreases anxiety, and restores balance and clarity to the mind.
Promotes Skin Tone, Circulation, and Vitality
In addition to soft and nourishing the skin, the constant flow of warm herbal oils will stimulate blood circulation and improve the skin's glow. It improves your overall vitality, leaving you energized, and renewed.
This combination of oil applications (Snehana) with therapeutic sweating (Swedana) is a great way to detoxify, nourish and rejuvenate the body; it can also alleviate muscle stiffness, soothe joint pain and restore constitution, especially in cases where Vata is involved. You will leave Pizhichil feeling refreshed and revitalized after your time spent in deep relaxation.
