Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,
What is the Treatment method called “PICHU”?
It is one of the common treatment
method in Ayurveda.
It is advised in case of the aches and pains aggravated in
the joints by the elevated wind element in the body which creates the dryness
and pain as a result of the ‘vatah vrudhi’.
Even though we are taking the internal
medication as well as external panchakarama treatments,the pain may aggravate
due to various reasons.
Here we have to do the treatment “Pichu”.
How to do the Pichu?
We need a cotton piece which will be
sufficient size to cover the affected area.
Warm the prescribed oils pour and
keep the oil in a plate,dip the cotton piece and put it over the affected area
for one hour.
In between warm the oil again and pour it on the cotton piece a few times.
This can be repeated for twice or thrice.
Try to do it continuously minimum for 7
days as a course of the treatment,and if you can do it on same time daily, it
will be better.
Precaution:
The oil should be warm moderately,if it is
too hot will burn the skin.
So we have to check the temperature of oil before application.
The medicated oils should prescribe
depending on the severity of the pain,site affected,whether swelling is
associated or not,body condition etc.
How it works:
Generally most of the painful condition occurring due to the aggravated wind element by different reasons.
There will be
lac of synovial fluids inside the joint and degenerative changes also.
In a
Dried up state when we keep the warm oil for an hour time it sucks and absorb
into the affected area easily.
It will help to pacify the pain slowly,and one
more thing is that the internal medication which the patient taking will enhance
the absorption of the oil properly.
Hope this info is enough to clarify.
Thank
you for Reading and Sharing.
