Pizhichil
Pizhichil is an intense ayurvedic therapy which involves sudation and fomentation. Pizhichil is also one of the vital steps in an authentic ayurvedic cleanse or panchakarma. At Ayush Ayurveda Singapore, Pizhichil is conducted following the best ayurvedic practices. It is performed in a step-by-step manner as accorded by Ayurveda.
Pizhichil is done by choosing the required herbs as per the condition of the patient. After this, an oil is also chosen as per the dosha type of the patient. This oil is warmed with the herbs and then used for the treatment. Pizhichil is a dual process which involves both streaming the warm oil over the entire body of the patient, in addition to massaging the patient. This creates heat, resulting in sweat which helps purge the harmful ama or toxins from the body. Around 3-4 litres of the herbal oil or even ghee are used in certain cases. The oil is continually warmed to ensure even heat distribution.
