hridya's treatments Pichu Ayurvedic Treatment in Dubai

At Dr. Hridya  Ayurvedic Speciality Clinic in Dubai, we’re all about bringing you the amazing wisdom of Ayurveda for your complete well-being. Among our special treatments, Pichu really stands out. It’s a simple yet super effective way to get targeted relief and deep nourishment. This ancient therapy is a gentle but powerful way to help you feel better.

Pichu

What is Pichu?

Pichu is a localized Ayurvedic treatment that involves the application of a thick cotton pad or a folded piece of cloth, thoroughly soaked in warm medicated oils or herbal decoctions, onto a specific affected area of the body. The term “Pichu” itself refers to this medicated pad. This therapy allows the therapeutic properties of the oils to deeply penetrate the tissues, offering sustained warmth and medicinal benefits. Depending on the area being treated, it can be known by specific names, such as “Shiro Pichu” for the head, “Kati Pichu” for the lower back, or “Greeva Pichu” for the neck.

Benefits of Pichu Ayurvedic Treatment

Pichu therapy offers a wide array of benefits, targeting both localized discomfort and overall well-being:

  • Pain Relief: Effectively reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation in specific areas like joints, muscles, and the spine.
  • Musculoskeletal Support: Nourishes and strengthens tissues, improves joint mobility, and eases movement.
  • Neurological Relief: Highly beneficial for various neurological conditions, calming the nervous system.
  • Stress Reduction: Induces deep relaxation, reduces stress, anxiety, and promotes mental calmness.
  • Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow to the affected areas, aiding in nutrient delivery and waste removal.
  • Tissue Rejuvenation: Promotes healing and rejuvenation of tissues, supporting nerve and muscle health.
  • Hair and Scalp Health (Shiro Pichu): Reduces scalp irritation, prevents hair fall, split ends, and premature greying.
  • Better Sleep Quality (Shiro Pichu): Helps alleviate insomnia and promotes a healthy sleep cycle.
  • Enhanced Mental Clarity (Shiro Pichu): Improves memory, concentration, and decreases eye strain.
  • Gynaecological Support (Yoni Pichu): Can be effective in managing certain vaginal and uterine conditions.

What Diseases Does Pichu Help Recover?

Pichu therapy is a versatile treatment highly effective in managing and aiding recovery from a range of conditions, including:

  • Conditions Addressed:
    Stubborn headaches & migraines, neck pain & stiffness (cervical spondylosis), lower back pain (lumbar spondylosis), sciatica (nerve pain down the leg), arthritis & joint aches (like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), frozen shoulder & stiff muscles, nerve problems (e.g., paralysis, facial palsy), trouble sleeping and insomnia, stress and anxiety-related issues, wear and tear of the spine, healing after fractures and injuries, scalp issues (like dandruff, skin irritation – with Shiro Pichu), some women’s health problems (like vaginal infections, painful periods – with Yoni Pichu, always with a doctor’s guidance).

Procedure of Pichu Ayurvedic Treatment

The Pichu procedure at Dr. Hridya Ayurvedic Speciality Clinic is performed with utmost care and precision, typically involving three main stages:
1. Purva Karma (Pre-Treatment Preparation):

  • Our Ayurvedic physician will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your health condition and determine the most suitable medicated oil or decoction for your specific needs.
  • The chosen medicated oil is gently warmed to a comfortable and therapeutic temperature.
  • A thick cotton pad or sterile gauze is prepared and thoroughly soaked in the warm medicated oil.
  • The patient is made to lie down comfortably, depending on the area being treated.

2. Pradhana Karma (Main Procedure):

  • The oil-soaked cotton pad (Pichu) is carefully placed over the affected area (e.g., head, spine, joints).
  • The pad is kept in place for a specified duration, typically ranging from 20 to 45 minutes, allowing the warm oil to deeply penetrate the tissues.
  • Throughout the session, our skilled therapists will periodically re-warm and re-apply oil to the pad to maintain its temperature and therapeutic effect. Gentle pressure may be applied in some cases to enhance oil penetration.

3. Paschat Karma (Post-Treatment Care):

  • After the stipulated time, the Pichu is gently removed, and any excess oil is carefully wiped off.
  • Patients are advised to rest for a period (usually 30 minutes) to allow the body to integrate the therapeutic benefits.
  • Post-treatment guidelines will be provided, which may include avoiding exposure to cold air, direct sunlight, or heavy exertion for a few hours. A light, Ayurvedic diet might also be recommended to support the healing process.
