In a routine Pizhichil, kaya seka ayurvedic treatment session, fresh and clean soft cotton materials are dipped in lukewarm ayurvedic oils containing active medicinal ingredients. The therapists then hold these cloths right above the patient’s body and drip the oil down the length of the body from say two feet approximately. This is followed by nice massages that are exercised all over the region where the oil has been applied; this creates relaxation by making the body respond well to the oil used in the treatment.
The duration of the Pizhichil treatment in Dubai ranges between 45 to 90 minutes, and during this time, the body is eased. This is because patients relax their body position with their back on a comfortable mat to enable the therapist to cover their body entirely. Most of the time, after the treatment, the patient will be covered up with a warm blanket covering for an additional half an hour or an hour to allow the skin to absorb the oils that have been applied.
