Pizhichil Therapy
Pizhichil is a distinctive Ayurvedic therapy that includes continuously pouring warm oil over the body with gently stroking and rhythmic massage. It is basically a blend of Snehana or Swedana and is referred to as Sarvangadhara.
Traditionally, only kings and nobles are allowed to have this therapy, that why it is also known as Royal treatment. But today, Pizhichil has become accessible to all people who seek relaxation and holistic healing. Ayura Ayurvedic Clinic in Abu Dhabi offers the most authentic and reliable Pizhichil, alongwith many Ayurvedic therapies to restore your health, hormones, and overall wellness.

How Pizhichil Therapy is Performed
Doctor’s Consultation: Firstly, Ayurvedic practitioners analyze the patient’s current condition. They check the Dosha balance and review the medical history through a detailed consultation. This assessment helps to select the right herbal oil for your therapy.
Oil Preparation: Selected herbal oils are warmed to a comfortable temperature. Because warmth oils enhance blood circulation and penetrate deeper into the body.
Oil Pouring: The Patient is asked to lie down over a massage table where he feels relaxed and comfortable. Then oil is poured over the entire body in a systematic pattern. Cotton pads are also used to distribute oil equally.
Expert Massage: Ayurvedic experts start to massage the body as oil flows over the body. They apply mild pressure during massage that nourishes the body deeply and relaxes muscles.
Duration and Body Detox: One session of Pizhichil takes 40 to 60 minutes for completion. Because of warmth oil application, mild sweating (Swedana) occurs, which helps to eliminate toxins from the body.
Post-Therapy Care: The patient is advised to rest for an hour to let the body absorb the herbs and show their therapeutic benefits. Excess oil is removed with mild steam therapy.
