 PIZHICHIL
is a relaxing, soothing and rejuvenating
treatment with medicated warm oil used in a continuous stream
for a definite period for the whole body (excluding head &
neck). It is used to effectively treat arthritis, ageing,
general weakness, paralysis etc. ‘Pizhichil’ and
‘Sarvangadhara’ are technically the same.
’Pizhichil’ literally means ‘squeezing’.
Here, warm medicated oil is squeezed over the patient’s
body from a piece of cloth that is periodically dipped in
a vessel containing the oil. In Sarvangadhara, oil is poured
over the patient’s body from pitchers. Pizhichil requires
a lesser quantity of oil when compared to Sarvangadhara.
Before beginning Pizhichil, a suitable type
of oil should be applied to the head and body of the patient.
In some cases, a talam is also applied on the head and bandaged
with leaves. The masseur usually begin by squeezing oil on
to the shoulders and then down the hands of the patient who
sits in an upright position. Each masseur uses on hand to
pour the oil while massaging with the other.
Pizhichil is recommended for diseases
caused by a vitiation of the Vata humour-Pakshaghata (Hemiplegia),
paralysis and muscle spasms – and other degenerative
diseases that affect the muscles. Click here for details |

 SHIROVASTHI
is considered more of a palliative (Shamana)
treatment than an eliminative (Shodhana) one. The treatment
is usually preceded by oleation (Snehana) and sudation (Swedana).
A leather sleeve of about six to eight inches in length is
placed on the shaven head of the patient and a band (vartti)
tied around the forehead to keep it in place. Kneaded dough
is used to line the inside of this sleeve and ensure that
it does not leak. Oil is then poured into the sleeve and allowed
to remain on the head for a while. The oil commonly used is
Ksheerabala or Dhanwantaram. The length of time the oil should
be kept there is determined by the severity of the disease.
Usually it is up to fifty minutes for diseases caused by severe
Vata disorders.
This treatment is prescribed for disorders
like facial paralysis, cataract, deafness, earache, insomnia
and other diseases that afflict the cranial nerves.
