Pizhichil is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy that involves the application of warm, medicated oil poured in a continuous stream over the entire body, while simultaneously massaging the body with the oil. The term "Pizhichil" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Pizhich" meaning "to squeeze" or "to press," indicating the method of oil application used in this therapy. It is a rejuvenating and nourishing treatment primarily aimed at improving musculoskeletal health, detoxifying the body, and providing deep relaxation.
