Parisheka (Localized Pouring)
in Bengaluru
Parisheka generally refers to the continuous pouring of liquids. While often synonymous with full-body pouring (Parisheka Sweda), localized Parisheka is frequently used for wound cleansing (Vrana Parisheka) or targeting a specific inflamed joint with herbal decoctions.
Clinical Benefits
- Cleanses and promotes rapid healing of chronic, non-healing wounds
- Reduces localized swelling, heat, and redness in a specific joint
- Prevents secondary infections in open ulcers (e.g., diabetic foot ulcers)
- Soothes localized nerve pain
Clinical Procedure
1. Preparation (Purvakarma)
- • Specific herbal decoctions (like Triphala or Panchavalkala for wounds) are prepared.
2. Main Action (Pradhana Karma)
The liquid is poured in a continuous stream over the specific affected area (like an ulcer on the leg, or a swollen toe in gout).
3. Post-Therapy (Paschatkarma)
- • The area is gently patted dry with a sterile cloth.
Patient FAQs
