Pizhichil is a heat treatment in which warm oil is continuously poured over the body. It is therefore an oil and sweat treatment at the same time.
The term pizhichil in Malayalam means “to press” or “to squeeze”. For the treatment, which is carried out synchronously by two therapists, small cotton cloths are dipped in warm medicated oil and pressed over the patient’s body so that an oil jet is created.
The treatment lasts 45 to 60 minutes and is carried out for a period of 7 to 21 days, depending on the patient’s symptoms.
