A
traditional Ayurvedic treatment called pizhichil is squeezing or pouring warm
medicinal oil over the entire body. This kind of treatment is thought to be
calming and restorative.
Here, the patient is physically covered in therapeutic oil by means of a linen
cloth that has been dipped in it and heated using a water bath. Sometimes a
galanthika might be used in place of a linen cloth. The skilled therapist
applies this oil while following the classics' recommendations for minimal
height and pressure, with the doctor's supervision. The expert determines the
appropriate oil based on the patient's condition. This may be used in
conjunction with other therapies or on its own.
