Pizhichil Ayurvedic Therapy

Pizhichil is a Kerala-based Ayurvedic therapy. The patient is draped in a special linen cloth that has been dipped in heated Kuzhambu, or a therapeutic oil mixture, and pressed over the disease-affected regions of his or her body. While massaging certain areas at the same time, special attention is given to guarantee that no part of the body is overlooked.
