Sarvanga Parisheka/Pizhichil: The Royal Ayurvedic Therapy for Rejuvenation at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we specialize in authentic Ayurvedic therapies designed to restore balance and promote holistic well-being. Among these, Sarvanga Parisheka, also known as Pizhichil, is a royal Ayurvedic therapy renowned for its rejuvenating and healing properties. This article provides a detailed insight into this luxurious treatment, its benefits, indications, and what to expect during the process.

What is Sarvanga Parisheka/Pizhichil?

Sarvanga Parisheka, or Pizhichil, is a unique Ayurvedic treatment that involves the continuous pouring of warm medicated oil over the entire body while being gently massaged by skilled therapists. The term “Sarvanga” means “whole body,” and “Parisheka” translates to “sprinkling.” Often referred to as an “oil bath,” this therapy combines the therapeutic effects of heat and massage to provide profound relaxation and rejuvenation.

Why is Sarvanga Parisheka/Pizhichil Important?

In Ayurveda, Sarvanga Parisheka is considered a therapy fit for royalty, as it restores vitality, nourishes the body, and addresses a variety of physical and mental conditions. The synergy of herbal oils and rhythmic massage helps balance the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), offering both therapeutic relief and a deeply rejuvenating experience.
