Nasyam
This is another therapeutic spa treatment that involves the clearing of nasal passages of any debris. Medicated drugs or herbal oils are used to soften the nasal passages, which can become dry from the cleansing of the debris. The oils are administered through the nostrils and prevent the cleaned passages from accumulating more debris. This treatment is specially done during the colder months. These oils stimulate the centers of the brain that reduce the perception of pain. Nasyam is recommended for people suffering from sinusitis, sleep apnea, headaches, earaches, and snoring. Along with cleansing of the nostrils, massage of the head, neck, and shoulders is done to provide relief from tension.

It is an excellent therapy for Detoxification. Pizhichil suggests “Squeezing”. In this treatment, warm medicated oil or “Kuzhambu” is squeezed onto the entire body of the patient using a linen cloth. Although this treatment targets the entire body, hence known as sarvangadhara, it can be categorized into two types depending on the targeted part of the body:
- Ekhanga Pizhichil – This treatment involves only a certain part of the body that is diseased or affected.
- Ardhanga Pizhichil – This treatment involves only half of the body.
One needs to be in certain positions like sitting, lying down on the stomach/ back, or lying on the left/ right side of the body. Pizhichil helps in skin rejuvenation, eliminates Vata Disorders, reduces body pain and nerve weakness, and helps manage stress.
Kati Basti
The word “Kati” in Sanskrit means lower back and “Basti or Vasti” means to retain. This therapy targets the deep tissues of the lower back or the lumbar region. Warm herbal and medicated oil is poured over the body and is retained inside by creating a frame (made of black gram paste or whole wheat flour paste) known as “Kati Basti” to alleviate pain, stiffness, and inflammation. This treatment is best for lower back problems like
