Pizhichil, also known as Sarvangadhara, is a distinctive and highly therapeutic Ayurvedic treatment offered at Sahaja Ayurvedic Hospital under the expert supervision of Dr. T L Srinivas Rao. This treatment is a unique combination of two classical Ayurvedic therapies: Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation). Pizhichil involves the gentle, rhythmic pouring of warm medicated oil over the entire body, followed by a soothing massage. This therapy is renowned for its ability to rejuvenate the body, alleviate pain, and promote overall health and well-being.

 Understanding Pizhichil

The term “Pizhichil” is derived from the Malayalam words “Pizhi” (to squeeze) and “Chil” (to pour). This therapy is sometimes referred to as “Thailadhara” or “Sarvangadhara” because of the continuous flow of warm medicated oil over the entire body. Pizhichil is primarily used to treat musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, and various other health issues by enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and nourishing the tissues.

  The Process of Pizhichil

The Pizhichil treatment at Sahaja Ayurvedic Hospital involves several meticulously planned steps to ensure a therapeutic and rejuvenating experience:

1. Initial Consultation: The treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. T L Srinivas Rao. During this session, the patient’s health condition, medical history, and specific health concerns are assessed. This evaluation helps in determining the appropriate medicated oils and the specific treatment plan.

2. Preparation of Medicated Oils: Based on the consultation, specific medicated oils are prepared. These oils are typically infused with a combination of herbs known for their therapeutic properties. The choice of oil and herbs is tailored to balance the patient’s doshas and address their health issues.

3. Preparation of the Treatment Environment: The treatment environment is designed to be serene and calming. The patient lies down on a specially designed table, and the warm medicated oil is continuously poured over the body by trained therapists. The oil is collected and reheated to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the treatment.

4. Application of Medicated Oil: The warm medicated oil is poured in a rhythmic manner over the entire body, from the neck to the toes. This process is carried out by two or more therapists working in synchrony to ensure even distribution and maximum therapeutic benefit.

5. Gentle Massage: Along with the pouring of the oil, a gentle and soothing massage is performed. The therapists use specific massage techniques to enhance the absorption of the medicated oil and to stimulate the tissues and muscles.

6. Duration and Technique: The duration of the Pizhichil treatment typically ranges from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the patient’s needs and the specific treatment plan devised by Dr. Rao. The technique involves continuous pouring and massage to maintain the warmth and ensure even distribution of the medicinal properties.

7. Post-Treatment Care: After the Pizhichil session, the patient is advised to rest and allow the effects of the treatment to fully integrate. Dr. Rao may provide specific post-treatment guidelines, including dietary recommendations and lifestyle modifications, to enhance the benefits of Pizhichil.
