PIZHICHIL 60 minutes: INR 4200
Pizhichil, also known as Thaila Dhara, is a unique and rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy that continuously pours warm, medicated oil over the entire body. This therapy is renowned for its deeply relaxing and therapeutic effects, combining elements of both oil massage (Snehana) and heat therapy (Swedana). Pizhichil is often used to promote well-being, strengthen the immune system, and address specific health concerns.
This therapy is a beautiful combination of two classical Ayurvedic treatments, Snehana (oilation) and Swedana (sudation). The whole body is bathed in streams of lukewarm medicated herbal ayurvedic oil with simultaneous soft massage. More than three liters of oil is used in this therapy. Pizhichil protects the body from illnesses and builds up immunity for a healthy life. It is very useful for rheumatic diseases, arthritis, paralysis, neurological disorders, blood pressure, and nervous weakness and helps to arrest the aging process.

Pizhichil is a complex process and is often referred to as the King of Ayurveda treatments. In the ancient years, this was often a therapy for the royalty or aristocrats. Anammyaa brings this specialised treatment to you.
Preparation of medicated oil:
- A specific herbal oil is prepared by infusing various Ayurvedic herbs into a base oil. The choice of herbs depends on the individual’s constitution (dosha), health condition, and the therapeutic goals of the treatment.
- The individual lies down on a special table, and the warm, medicated oil is poured over the entire body in a specific rhythmic manner. Often two or more therapists perform the treatment, ensuring a continuous and even flow of oil.
- Massage Pressure and intensity are adjusted based on individual needs and comfort.
- Pizhichil typically lasts for about 60 to 90 minutes, and the duration may vary based on individual requirements and the practitioner’s recommendations.
Post-Treatment Steps:
