Abhyangam, pizhichil etc have become quite popular as ayurvedic massages. They are part of the sneha swedana chikitsa (Detoxification, and rejuvenative therapy at the same time) which were contributions of a group of acharyas from Kerala. These procedures enable us to get rid of the toxins, correct metabolism, reduce aging process, regain lost vital energy and also give a total relaxation of mind and body.
