🌿 Discover Herbal Oil Bath (Pizhichil): Ancient Ayurvedic Healing in New Plymouth 🌿
At AyuNature Wellness (ANW), we are proud to offer one of Ayurveda’s most luxurious and restorative treatments — the Herbal Oil Bath (Pizhichil), an ancient herbal oil therapy that deeply nourishes the body, calms the mind, and restores balance to the whole being.
Conveniently located in the heart of New Plymouth, our clinic provides a peaceful, professional, and personalised space for you to experience this authentic Ayurvedic healing.
What is Ayurvedic Herbal Oil Bath/Pizhichil?
Pizhichil (pronounced pee-zhih-chil or pee-ree-chil), meaning gentle squeezing, is a classical Ayurvedic treatment where warm, medicated herbal oils are gently poured over the body in a continuous, soothing, rhythmic flow. While this happens, a gentle, synchronised massage is performed to help you deeply relax and restore.
Traditionally known as the “treatment of kings”, this therapy combines the benefits of Swedana (heat therapy- to open channels and release toxins) and Snehana (oleation- to nourish tissues and joints deeply) to promote total relaxation and healing.
At AyuNature Wellness, we honour the traditional method while customising each session to suit your unique body constitution (dosha).

This therapy is ideal if you are seeking to restore balance, vitality, or relief from ongoing discomfort. Benefits include:
🟢 Relief from Joint and Muscle Pain
