Pizhichil (also known as "Thailadhara" or "Sarvangadhara") is an Ayurvedic therapy combining two traditional treatments: Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation or sweating). It involves the gentle pouring of warm, medicated oil over the body while performing a soothing massage, making it a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating therapy. Often called the "King of Ayurvedic therapies," Pizhichil is renowned for its therapeutic effects on the muscles, joints, and nervous system.
