Panchakrama Therapy >> Pichu - Kati / Greeva / Janu
Pichu - Kati / Greeva / Janu is a targeted Ayurvedic therapy where medicated oil-soaked cloths are placed on specific body areas (lower back, neck, or knees). This treatment alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and improves mobility, making it effective for conditions like sciatica, cervical spondylosis, and knee pain.
Pichu therapy is a highly effective Ayurvedic treatment designed to relieve localized pain and discomfort, primarily targeting the Kati (lower back), Greeva (neck), and Janu (knee) regions. The therapy involves applying a warm medicated oil-soaked cotton pad or cloth to the affected area, allowing the oil to deeply penetrate the tissues.
Procedure:
Preparation: The practitioner will first cleanse the skin and ensure the area is comfortable.
Oil Selection: Special Ayurvedic oils, often infused with herbs, are selected based on the individual's Dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and the severity of the condition.
Application: A cotton or cloth is soaked in warm oil and gently applied to the target area. The oil is left for a specific duration, ensuring deep absorption.
Massage: Sometimes, gentle massage accompanies the therapy to enhance oil penetration.
Key Benefits:
Pain Relief: Effective in alleviating chronic pain and inflammation in the back, neck, and knee.
Improved Mobility: Reduces stiffness and enhances movement in the affected joints.
Detoxification: Helps remove toxins from the body through the skin, improving circulation.
Relaxation: Induces deep relaxation of muscles, reducing tension and stress.
Promotes Healing: Encourages faster recovery from musculoskeletal issues and injuries.
Pichu therapy is a natural, non-invasive solution to chronic pain and stiffness, providing lasting relief with no side effects. It is highly beneficial for individuals experiencing prolonged discomfort or those seeking preventive care for musculoskeletal health.
