Pizhichil (Ayurvedic Oil Bath Therapy)
Known as the “Royal Treatment of Ayurveda,” Pizhichil is a deeply therapeutic oil bath that combines gentle massage with continuous pouring of warm, medicated oils all over the body. Originating from Kerala, this traditional therapy is a part of Panchakarma and is designed to rejuvenate the body, relax the mind, and promote natural healing.
The term “Pizhichil” literally means “to squeeze.” In this therapy, clean cotton cloth pieces are soaked in warm herbal oil and gently squeezed over the body in rhythmic motion while simultaneous massage is performed. The warmth of the oil, coupled with expert strokes, stimulates blood circulation, nourishes the skin, and strengthens the nervous system.
