Abhyang/ Pizhichil treatment is a combination of heat treatment and oil massage.

In Indian culture, massage of the body with medicated oils was a routine and it was known as a part of Dincharya.

The whole body is massaged gently in a synchronized manner. Massage is performed under the strict supervision of Ayurvedic physicians. It is administered in seven classically explained positions to cover every part of the body hence extending maximum benefit.

At Ayur Health Veda, we reinvent this old age therapy and provide it unique to each individual and their body type (doshas), identifying the underlying factors in the ailment

A cloth dipped in lukewarm medicated oil is squeezed over the patient’s body and then oil is rubbed gently and smoothly. This session may last for 30-45 minutes. Specific marma points mentioned in Ayurveda are activated using this therapy.
