Pichu — Targeted Ayurvedic Cotton Padding Therapy in Delhi NCR & Gurugram
At Ayulife Panchkarma & Ayurvedic Pain Management Clinic, we offer authentic Pichu Therapy — a highly effective Ayurvedic treatment for neck pain, cervical spondylitis, frozen shoulder, muscle stiffness, and stress-related tension.
The treatment is led by Dr. Shallu Garg, a renowned Ayurveda & Panchkarma specialist with 25+ years of clinical experience in pain management, helping patients achieve natural, long-lasting relief without dependence on painkillers.
What Is Pichu?
In classical Ayurveda, Pichu (often called Sthanika Pichu or “local oil padding”) is a form of external oleation therapy. In this method, a thick pad of cotton or gauze is soaked in warm, medicated herbal oil or ghee, and placed directly over the affected region (e.g. knee, joint, spine). Over time, the pad is replenished with warm oil to maintain therapeutic warmth and herbal absorption. This procedure is especially useful for localized pain disorders, joint issues, and soft tissue inflammation, offering deep nourishment and support to the afflicted area.
The continuous warmth helps:
- Relax stiff muscles
- Improve blood circulation
- Lubricate cervical joints
- Reduce inflammation & nerve compression
- Relieve pain and restricted movement
It is especially beneficial for people with desk jobs, long screen hours, poor posture, or repetitive stress injuries. Experience natural healing with expert Ayurvedic care at Ayulife. Relieve pain, restore balance, and rejuvenate your body.
Benefits of Pichu for Knee Pain & Joint Issues

At Ayulife, under the guidance of Dr. Shallu Garg (25+ years in Pain Management & Panchkarma), Pichu is customized to help patients achieve faster and deeper relief.
Because Pichu is gentle and localized, it’s especially suited for individuals recovering from joint stress (like runners) or chronic joint complaints.
Benefits of Pichu Therapy:
- Provides natural relief from neck & shoulder pain and stiffness
- Reduces inflammation and relaxes tight muscles
- Improves blood circulation & joint lubrication in the cervical region
