PICHU 45 minutes: INR 1800
The term “Pichu” is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “to soak” or “to saturate.” This form of treatment is extremely effective due to its targeted approach aimed at the affected area. Pichu is very effective at alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and promotes healing in specific areas like the spine or head or ailments caused in the cranial nerve. Pichu is a therapeutic procedure that involves the application of medicated oil-soaked cotton or a herbal paste on a specific area of the body, usually over the affected joint or spine. Pichu therapy is often recommended for ailments due to high vata disorder. It is extensively used to treatments caused by:
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Muscular injuries or strains
- Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Spinal disorders
- Sciatica
- Chronic back pain
- We use medicated oil used in Pichu which contains herbs with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. The continuous treatment with this oil helps in relieving pain associated with conditions like arthritis, joint stiffness, and muscular discomfort.
- Vaidya will advise the combination of oils based on the individual’s dosha imbalances and health conditions.
- Cotton pads or a paste made from herbs are soaked in the medicated warm oil and placed over the affected area. This is repeated multiple times and each treatment lasts for about 60 mins
- Post treatment, the soaked cotton or herbal paste is removed, and the area is gently cleaned. The individual may be advised to rest and avoid exposure to cold or wind.
- Pichu is effective in alleviating pain associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and musculoskeletal disorders.
It helps in reducing inflammation, improves joint mobility, making it beneficial for conditions affecting the joints. It also nourishes and lubricates the tissues, promoting overall joint health.
